Building a Rover on the Mun

[Armor9]

So I am trying to pack all my parts to build a rover on the Mun.  The problem is, what can I put the rover base on to hold it up while I put the wheels on?  Before with KIS/KAS you could use a pylon, put that down, put the rover base on top, attach the 4 wheels and then pick up the pylon.  That does not see to be an option in stock construction.

Ideas?  Thanks.

Just following up and hoping someone has some thoughts on how to start off the building of a rover in EVA.  Thanks.

I assume you are trying to use the rectangular probe core as the base and I had two ideas:

- you could place it in a thin structural part such as a girder which would support the probe core while still giving you space to place the wheels

- you could place the probe core vertically and place the wheels on its side and then “shove” it over onto its wheels by bumping into it with a jet packing kerbal. 
 

note: I have never built a rover in situ so these ideas may be faulty, but since no one has responded I thought these might be worth a try

I didn't try the stock EVA construction (or 1.11 for that matter) but this is what I'd be inclined to try .  If there is difficult to keep the rover in the vertical position I'd use a stack decoupler as pedestal.

I think you can put the structure where the wheels are going to be in some sort of support that you can detach once the rover is finished. You know like the hydraulic elevators used to raise and repair cars

Thanks for the ideas.  I hadn't thought of the vertical ideas.  Thanks.
