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 am about to build a similar chassis dolly but will be integrating it into my mid rise scissor lift.
My question - which material is straighter/stronger, square tube or C channel?? I think the C channel may be a bit more versatile as the heavier wall and flanges might provide more options to weld/ clamp to ? |

Square tube given same wall thickness. I've been contemplating building mine up to also be a rotisserie once I get the structure stabilized. I'd rather weld the floorpan on in some position other than overhead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
