I waited as long as I could. I dropped the wad ( well chase credit card did temporarily ) and bought the steel. Most of it I got cut to length, but there was still a fair amount I got long because I knew I would end up altering things as I went....I usually do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 641.40 worth on the floor. I saved over 120.00 by digging thought the drops for 2 hours, and refiguring my original plans on the spot in order to make use of the drop pile.
Now I should probably say, before you guys think I am totally nuts, I am building this thing to handle ANY car that comes to me. I do American stuff as well, so just in case someone shows up with a '59 Cadillac coupe Deville, I nned to know I can flip it safely (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Started out by marking and pilot drilling the uprights for the lockdown holes, then step drilled them out to 3/4 inch Attached image(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I drilled through the inside pipe at 90* increments on each end, and did the ends 45* off from each other. This allows me to drop a bolt in one end or the other, and gives 45* adjustments. A good pair of large vise grips will also do good job of holding it in place if you need a spot you don't have a hole set for.
