I've concluded that I need to replace significant portions of the lower wheelhouse, inner long, and the suspension console. I've spent the day researching and reading the classic threads and like many of the rack-like assemblies my predecessors have built. Let's hear some easy but still effective ways to get this thing off the ground and straight enough for structural repairs.
I really like the one for "Bringing out your Dead" but can't quite figure out the points it's mounted. After bracing the doors, can I use the front jack points, a long support along the floors, the outer suspension console, and the trans mount area? I ready for some ideas. I'm trying to develop as many COAs (Courses of Action) as possible. Thanks. |

I've accessed all the structural elements you reference on this dolly. Jeff Hail has this right. Strong, stable, level surface to work from. All dimensions are posted on his thread. I've hard mounted at transmission mounts and the front crossmember. In my case I'm replacing the inner wheelhouse without cutting the rear quarter panel for access. Because of this, I am not mounting to the rear suspension outer console but it is a key suspension point that needs to be properly located. I'm very happy with this - it was well worth the time to build. |
