Have you made a tool , a part, etc... for your E-Body? Post up some pictures. It might inspire others!

Shane - cool stand but if it could telescope it down then you wouldn't have to put the rear end of the car so high up.

I had a similar situation where putting the rear end so high up got a bit sketchy.

Now using a lift and your k-member stand would work a charm!

I thought about that. But was to lazy to go through all that effort. If I was using it all the time that would be another story. This was a good height so I could slide under the car and bolt up the trans cross member. That's the first thing I fasten up. Then I slide a floor jack under the front of the stand and jack the K member and car up together and then install K member bolts. It's pretty stable when using the XL jack stands under the rear end housing. Under the rear frame rails. Not so much. A little nerve racking to say the least.

I admire people who not only build their own cars but also the equipment to do so.

I made this valley pan  awhile back when I was building my engine.

Pinion shims for composite leaf springs. With composite leaf springs you can't have the U bolts touching the spring, that why the " side wing"
