So - I'm going to attempt to attempt taking the tub off the frame Sat morning - I'm really jonesing to get my frame powdercoated - and I can get it done for free - I'm thinking I'm going to do it on the side of the house - cause my garage is barely big enough to hold flatulence...
Anyway - I have a nice concrete pad on the side of the house - and I drew this up today - a frame built from 2x6s - the Blazer will either be on top - or have another cross bar underneath - so that the A-frame is supported while I'm jacking the body up. The dimensions shown are purely reference and are subject to change and/or miscalculation. The lifting will be done with an engine hoist - this will merely be used to hold the tub - (not to string a hoist from)
Thoughts - opinions - any better ideas
I'm probably going to spray paint the A-frame chrome - just so it is a little stronger - (and so the neighbor has something nice to look at)
