Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

I did get the exhaust almost done. I have to get some tubes expanded to fit on the mufflers I'm using, so it might not actually be all bolted up for a couple days yet.

I did get out to the farm today and got the body loaded onto the trailer. That part was easy using a tractor with a hydraulic lift on front.


The biggest problem was figuring out how to get it off the trailer and in the driveway. I started by putting my dolly under the front end, and borrowed another dolly for the back end, then I could get it rolled back to the end of the trailer.



Then I put a chain across a couple fender mounts on the firewall and lifted the front with my hoist.


Then I pulled forward a bit while my son rolled the body towards the back. I set the front end on some jack stands and then got the hoist to lift the back end and pulled the trailer out the rest of the way.



Then I just set the back end on some wood blocks.


We spent the next hour or two cleaning it up with a vacuum and then the pressure washer.
