I'm thinking about building a small wooden frame with heavy duty caster wheels, that I would bolt up to the front cross member mounting points (crossmember would be removed).

This would let me move the car around a little while I have the shocks, hubs, control arms etc. off for reconditioning. The engine will already be out, and the rear wheels will be on the ground.

Is there anything I should be aware of before attempting this, or is this a bad idea? I was thinking I may use a single 5" caster wheel in the middle as my floor may not be completely flat.

thank you for any advice.

With the engine removed plus all that suspension stuff, there won't be much weight on the front end. You should be fine with your plan.

Howabout 2 of those harbor freight furniture dollies?
1000lbs each and about $7, hard to beat that.

With the engine out of the front and the suspension off you can pick up the front of the car if all the weight's still in the back.

Ahh, didnt realize it would be THAT light! The furniture dollies sound like a good plan, two are cheaper than a single caster wheel of the type I'm looking at. Really appreciate the help, thanks guys.
