Well the deal is done. I am now the proud owner of a Celette bench. Of course, handing over cash and hauling the thing home was the easy part. Now there is the stack of associated tools that I'll need in order to actually do something with my nice big hunk of metal. Plus it's in need of a little TLC, such as cleaning off the rusty parts, cleaning threads and lubricating everything.
Whew... it's been a long day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif) Attached image(s)

Very Cool!
So how difficulty is it to mount an otherwise unmolested car just to check if it is truly straight? |

QUOTE(rdauenhauer @ Feb 17 2011, 01:20 AM)  Very Cool! So how difficult is it to mount an otherwise unmolested car just to check if it is truly straight? At minimum suspension out. If you concerned about the rear transaxle mount you need to pull the engine and transaxle. These are best used to restore the factory suspension and engine/transaxle mounting points after a crash. The second best part of having a Celette in a resto/fab shop is setting up and replacing rust damaged suspension consules and installing the factory style 6 bulkhead mount in conversion cars. The fixtures locate these. This bench in Marks hands is going to be a bonus for you guys out west. The fixtures for the 911 front suspension is the same as the 914. Many of those are seeing rusted front suspension mounting points. Another use for a Celette. The Mercedes guys with the 260/280 SL's have one of the worse rust problems of all the german cars. I'm really excited for Mark. Hey Mark, Here's that jack I mentioned when we were talking the other day. http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Master-S...tp-xl-spl-6.htm |
