In case your interested, the Osh discount code is OSH18, good thru the end of this month.

That's the device Doug referenced in his first post.

Too bad it has such darn small tires.
Also too bad that it has to be adjusted while you're not on it.

They offer different wheels.
It looks like a purchase of tubing is in my future!

I've been wanting something like this for quite some time. Hadn't thought of a design but as an interim, I bought one of those low beach chairs with the adjustable back. The chair itself start 8" above the floor which was handier and then the back adjusted up and down to get me even closer if I needed it.
It worked fine for a while but it was too weak to take the stress. So now I'm on the lookout again.
I was thinking of mounting the adjustable back onto a standard creeper.

Found this one via Google. A little cheaper than the Aerocreeper. Still it only adjusts incline not seat height.

Thanks! I just ordered one. My arthritis made my last condition inspection very painful. While pricey, you can't put a price on being pain free.
BTW, the discount code is all caps and is $20.

Here is a thought....
Not an original idea, but I saw this at my airport. Built a rolling platform and simply mounted a car seat (from a scrapyard) to it. It rolled easy, reclined nicely and I would be willing to venture that someone could take it to the next level by putting in a seat with electric movement.
The best part of the seat? It was very very comfortable (complete with headrest)

12V assist
You should be able to scare up a flap actuator from any of the RV models. F1 Boss has a good alternate supplier for less money and lots of models to choose from. You should have a trickle charger around the hangar or some small 12V SLA battery . Potentially cleaner and no crank to snag or bark your knuckles with.
Alternatively a LOW profile scissor jack like in a most Toyota's would fit clean and low in a creeper frame.

Floor Creeper
I have to think one could have fun getting a modern car seat then using all the servo s and buttons to make a nice floor creeper?

A couple of Utah State students came up with one that reclines and is height adjustable.
