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. |

Thanks for the replies. I'm really leaning towards the rotisserie especially since I know this won't be my last project. The idea of not laying on the floor working in a cramped space over my head sounds wonderful.
I also figure that since there is an extra 6ft of space in my garage on top of the curb, I could always build a wooden platform to make the one end an equal height to the curb end. Now I'm on the fence about building or buying. I really like that the premade ones have a better chance of being square than what I build, they have built in jacks to raise and lower, and the one I'm looking at has a locking mechanism in the spinner. On the DIY side, I really like that the money saved would buy the body panels I need from RD. |
