I'm Back, Finally got my car off jackstands! Options

[riverman]

I took the summer off from working on the teener to get married, put an extension on my house, re-landscape my yard, and start a new business. Now I've finally got some time to get going again on this very long-term (yet favourite) project.

Last winter I stripped the car, boxed the longitudinals for rust reasons, repaired the hell-hole, replaced the passenger side rear suspension ear, and installed the Mayeur Longitudinal kit. This winter I want to replace all the rusted out spots on the floor and the body (big job), engineer and install a radiator for the V8, and get the body primed and sealed to help slow down mother-rust.

As you can see, I've put the car up a movable dolly (therefore, no jackstands). This allows me to move the car into the middle of the garage when I'm working it and then tuck it away in the corner when I'm not. It sure makes moving around the car alot easier. I've got it up higher off the ground, too (28 inches). I think this is a much better height for doing bodywork. I would only recommend doing this if you have the engine, tranny, and suspension out of the car. Otherwise, the car would be too heavy.

Anyway, it's nice to be back - I sort of missed the peanut gallery over the summer.
