Jake's Story

After months of 'thinking', and a little fabrication, then more pondering, i managed to come up with a plan to get the shell up on its rotisserie. The hack engine & box came out, then some tinkering with jacks, stands & hoists got the virtually bare shell up to the right height. With a little trepidation, eventually all the weight was on the 2 stands.
Initially a bit confused, the shell seemed heavy on the right side. Couldn't understand, maybe my brackets weren't on the centre line? Then remembered the RH door is still mounted! So far so good, the shell seems fairly well balanced (Given the odd number of doors) and is easy to flip on its side with one hand.
Hopefully next couple of days can give me a fresh perspective on the understand. One of the jobs to start with is to get rid of the rubber bumper rear axle bump stop 'extensions' - something I'd started earlier, but got a little weary of grinding/cutting lying on my back. Got to be easier with the car on its side!
