    Putting th body back on the frame help needed

    It is about time to get the car (1967)back from the paint shop. I am concerned about putting the body back on the frame. The idea of my buddys dropping my freshly painted car has crossed my mind several time in the past few weeks. I have one of those strap lifts that I used to help lift and clean the underside of the car but it really touches the car more than I want it to and could scratch the paint. I have seen shops that use a form of a tee bar
    (H formation) that attaches to the firewall and somewhere in the rear of the car. I called one shop in Penn. that shows all kinds of cars being put back on the frame using this set up and a engine puller (lift). Unfortunately, they won't take the time to explain or give me demensions. They told me they purchased one a few years ago from a company out of California and have made several others on their own. Does anyone have a diagram or measurements for this kind of a lift. It looks like an H with chains coming down somewhere in the engine compartment and then it looks like it bolts somewhere in the rear compartment. Thanks for your continued support

    Keith,
    Contact Larry at LAllenGolf@aol.com. He can tell you how to make a T-frame and hoist system.

        This is a great activity for a Chapter level tech session. We do it frequently in the Rocky Mtn Chapter. One member (with car) opens his house and supplies beverages and snacks. We make an afternoon of surrounding the 'job' with 10-20, MANY who have been there, done that, got the T-shirt before. Makes for a fun 1/2-afternoon activity....

            Just make sure the beverages come after the body drop.
