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) |

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)

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) Hydraulic rams on each end. If you look at the last pic, you can see a piece of the pipe standing upright. That is my mockup for the ram (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I got the back end finished up with a light duty mount like most of you have seen. (The one that bolts into the bumper holes. ) Once I get the front end finished ( tomorrow ) I will load a car on it and flip it. My next step is to make a complete carriage under the car that ties the front and rear suspension points together, and will make pickups for the rear points that can be removed and reinstalled to aid in proper placement. All this will not only give me proper locations, but will also completely brace the car front to back, so it won't move while I have it upside down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
