Thanks!

I used some 1/4" thick angle iron. 1/8" thick angle was more than adequate for lifting the car by itself. It showed some flexing when lifting the front end with the engine/trans installed though, so I upgraded to the 1/4". If anyone is looking for that engine/trans k member dolley hit me up.... will be selling mine.... done with big restos I did the same thing... 3 pieces of angle with holes drilled in them. simple and inexpensive solution that works on A/B/E cars. Yes, they can be made out of wood, not my preferred method.

When my brother put his engine in, he just used the car's bumper brackets along with a 2x4 crossbar bolted to them. The bumper brackets lifted the car while the 2x4 was just to keep the loops of chain from potentially slipping off. Worked just fine. You should sell those on Ebay 🤣🤣
