[firstgear]

Next weekend is the weekend.....got the body dolly done today...all I can say is PIA!!!! Of course nothing was easy....but I did follow Adams body lift book to build the dolly......here it is in all its glory!!!

you are supposed to notch these 4x4's......ok that was a royal PIA!!!

wheels, bolts screws nails and wood....cost about $100 for everything

here is the final product...standing up....next weekend I will move it into the other garage where the body lift will take place.....this is starting to get exciting......stand by.....

Heh.. You never know this could be you next year lifting your body to polish your frame..:L

don't tempt me......... so far I only have a couple projects planned for next winter and most of them only involve removing items and sending them out with a lot of waiting time till they come back and I'm afraid of the idle time in-between and what trouble I can get myself into.

you know Barry, when I am done, the dolly will be just sitting there....it fits a C1 or a C2.....perhaps you can borrow it and use it for polishing that frame.....

Jon, you need to build one of these works of art......then you will know......what a PIA feels like....otfl

remeber that I am working on my car and am close to out of money...so it will be coming postage due.....

Hi! Firstgear

It is a shame that we don't live closer, I put a body dolly out behind the barn that you would have been welcome to use.

Good luck on you body lift!

Ray

Firstgear,

You are just getting to the "fun" part. I always feel that the project is just getting up to speed when the body comes off.

Keep posting those pics for all us garage junkies without a project at this time

would have been nice to have you closer.......I could sure use the help when I don't have a clue what I am doing.....perhaps you could live across the street....and Bob could live next door....and Doug could live around the corner......and ok....Barry can live in the house behind ours (don't worry Barry its a BIG HOUSE)........then I might have a chance for what I am trying to do......

Herb, i aprreciate the offer for the house, but don't depend on me for assistence - not that I'm not willing, just that I don't have the slightest clue what i'm doing myself!

Barry,

Please don't underestimate yourself. In life, I have learned many times that the best way to obtain assistance, is to give those in our circle the impression that we do not know what were doing. Once that is a known fact, a multitude of friends and associates will step up to the plate for you, regardless of the issues. The " shrinks " say that is it a normal human reaction, and that it's an extremely effective way to obtain help.

The proficiency that you posses when audio related items are the issue, tells me that you are much more capable person that your persona reflects.

Keep well my untalented friend.
