Wood tip over jig - IT WORKED!!

[Cbridgewater]

Yes it is pretty much idiot proof, fill shake and spray. Already rock hard after 1 day of curing. I will be turning the car back over tomorrow to finish up prepping for the dustless blasting that will take place on Monday, then it goes to the body shop for epoxy primer Tuesday, and possibly staying for body and paint. It's been five years since I got the car so I am excited to finally see it progress.

Cool to see contraption work.
Have pondered trying that myself

It really was a savior. Would never have been able to get the same results just laying on my back

I don't see the curved parts in the structure, did you remove them after it was tipped?   Do you remember what the radius was and where was the center of it in relation to the body?  I'd like to get mine tipped over for the final welding of the sub-frame connectors, torque boxes, and then some sort of sound deadener or bed liner.

I am going to be pulling it back to normal this evening so i'll take some better photos of the curved area with dimensions. The entire structure was left on the car as it is used as the "stand" to suspend the car. The radius is dictated by how much space you want between the floor and body, and how high your brackets are set from the ground when the car is in "home" position. I believe my radius was 22", which allowed for 8-10" of space between the floor and the body.

Here is a photo of the job off the car, the piece you see with the plywood on the right hand side is the front of the car. The horizontal 2x4 bolts into some angle iron brackets attached at the front bumper mount holes. The vertical 2x4 ends up being the "stand" on the ground when you tip the car.
