I waited as long as I could. I dropped the wad ( well chase credit card did temporarily ) and bought the steel. Most of it I got cut to length, but there was still a fair amount I got long because I knew I would end up altering things as I went....I usually do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 641.40 worth on the floor. I saved over 120.00 by digging thought the drops for 2 hours, and refiguring my original plans on the spot in order to make use of the drop pile.

Now I should probably say, before you guys think I am totally nuts, I am building this thing to handle ANY car that comes to me. I do American stuff as well, so just in case someone shows up with a '59 Cadillac coupe Deville, I nned to know I can flip it safely (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Started out by marking and pilot drilling the uprights for the lockdown holes, then step drilled them out to 3/4 inch

Welded the bottom legs together. Rear is 3x3 1/4 wall, front is 3x4 1/4 wall. This was the first change I made. There wasn't enough 3x3 in the drop pile but I found the 3x4. That kept me from having to buy 2 full lengths of 3x3. Cha CHING !!

Then I cut some 3x2 angle into short brakets to make a stable bolting setup in order to disassemble the whole thing for storage or moving. Drilled the tabs for bolt holes, and went back to welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Cut and drilled some 4x4 box for the sliders

Forgot to take some pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Ended up getting the master machinist down in the complex to line bore some schedule 80 [pipe out so I could slip fit a pice of 2 3/8" o.d pipe in it

Drilled a shartload more holes

Tacked it all together, checked for fit and full welded the spinning section.

Welded a piece of 2 1/2 " box to the 2 3/8 pipe for the crossbars.

Cut, drilled and welded nuts onto some 3" box to act as positioning sliders on the crossarms

And ended up with this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My cross bar sliders are too tight due to the weldment process, so I'm going to see if my machinist can skim one side of the cross bars for a better slip fit. More pics as things progress (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Nice!

One suggestion [for which I apologize in advance if you are already planning], but I would add gussets to the Sch80 pipe holding the arms in the last picture in post 3. As it is currently, that piece will shear before anything else breaks.

I was thinking that a long screw (1" allthread) in the upright (would have to have more of a C section that square tube) with a set of gears on the top attached to a crank - like the jacks that came with later bugs and busses. Mount crossbars to car and crank away. Works in my head - not so sure it would be feasible in reality (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
