5-25-09: Yesterday I made up a little stand that I could clamp body panels to when I need to work on them. A couple years back my dad brought home a mobile bench grinder stand that they were tossing out at his work. I didn't really like it because it had a huge base plate. I was always tripping over it. The problem was the top plate was pretty small. Too small to really do anything useful with. Well I was looking at it yesterday and decided if I flipped it upside down it would make a good work table. :think: So I welded a wide rim onto the end with the small plate. Then I welded a couple pieces of 1"x2" tubing to the rim so I'd have a place to mount the casters to ( I still need to drill some hole to mount the casters ) . And presto I've got a work stand.
Today bolted a couple brackets to my "new" work stand. This gave me a wider area to clamp stuff to. After I finished that I clamped my transmission tunnel to the stand. Then I clamped the one fire wall recess extension piece to it. When I clamped the extension on i used the copper panels on the back side of the seams.
