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 Attached image(s) |

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) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7-dXXP2TIE Attached image(s) |

Nice one, Scotty! I wouldn't mind having a pop at one of these (If my welding improves, that is!)
