However, convenience has it's price, and the US Cartool products are very nice. Pick your poison. Well, I have a little of most of that, but the skill is argueable. U.S. Tool stuff that I have seen is top quality and powder coated and I'm sure they have to carry a boo coo amount of insurance. Time is money and if i had to acount for the time I have in stuff it is probably as looser but I enjoy thinking I am saving money. Tha dash stand aint pretty but it works. It's an old bread stand and a peice of plumbers strap and a fence brace for the back hanger. Full access and chest lever for easy working. 8385612-IMG_1653.jpg (336 downloads) Careful, your character's showing!

I like that it's all bolted together so anyone could make one like this. Ironic that there's a nice welder behind it! 8385652-8193647-dashframe1.jpg (251 downloads)

I think I saw that one for sale at Carlisle this year, it was for a bench top I think. What did you make your's out of I like it, cleaner than mine. We should start another homemade tool thread.

I wanted some adjustment in a few areas so I welded nuts and used through bolts to anchor the tubes in place once set. Wheels are adjustable, lockable, and removable with quick release. I built this off of a napkin sketch and would probably make some miner changes if I made another one but it gets the job done.

You could make different heads to accommidate different items. Is the base cross bar telescopic as well to change the width? Careful, your character's showing!

The heads come off so yes, different ones can be swapped, and yes the width is adjustable as well as all 4 legs.

The same principle would work with a car just need tall post in order to spin it all the way around. 8385716-imagejpeg_2.jpg (180 downloads) Careful, your character's showing!

Given that Chrysler used a similar method, and for all I know maybe Henry Ford as well, unless its an identical design... I hereby copywrite the letter "A" in both capital and lowercase forms, and in all derivative representation in all font past, current, and future. Yada, yada, yada, lower the body onto the k-frame, I now declare you ready to bolt up. Vert > [img]http://i.imgur.com/JHXmM.jpg[/img]71 Barracuda vert[/url] \| Hemi idling on dyno \| Hemi Dyno pull
