Default Antique Iron Dolly

Just picked up an old antique clothes iron at a antique shop. I'm always looking for old tools or things that can be made into tools. This thing is perfect for my 1960 Caddy quarter panel repair. Its basicly flat one way, and very low crown the other dimension. The thing weighs 4.5 lbs, and looks like solid steel. These irons are not real popular, and can be had for 5 to ten bucks. It'd make a good post dolly too.

They make great dollies, I had an old cast iron(Iron) and shaped a semi circle on the flat end but unfortunately it cracked in half, it cost me 40 bucks from and old second shop out west, need to find a few more.

Surely lots of folks use them. But I'm still new to this. I believe mine is cast iron as well.
