Since I have a skinny bum, not originally designed to do very much pulling or pushing of motor vehicles....I just use a long bolt through the chain to lock the position of the so called angle of dangle and easily adjust it as required, thus leaving my hands free to push the car at leisure. This meth...

Maybe this are a good oppertunity for some of us to go outside and get some fresh air.

Moering Tool...you can do it hundreds too if you want to. Just takes patience and persistance. I'm not for hire :P Barry, thanks for backing me up on the panel bond, coming from you people will believe it. :) I agree about the cold welding. Exactly what I meant when I said bonding adhesive is strong...

Looks like you're still more inclined to do welding rather than using bonding adhesive, so before you turn your car into a simba chips packet, please let me stengthen my point. So you don't feel secure with the idea of using 'glue', I wouldn't either just because it sounds weak, but you'd be amazed ...

Mark, I know what you mean about welding upside down, it takes some getting used to. If you must have the car on it's side or upside down, then simple, just...

oops sorry, my bad :oops: I got confused between "it" and "is" ...and read it as "it is not possible....." Then I didn't notice a question mark either... :lol: I probably read it that way because it should be quiet obvious that you will cause damage to the quarter panels if you roll the car on it's ...

Who said anything about rolling the body on it's side? Although there is a thing called a 'car cradle' that does just that, but I was talking about lifting the body off the ground and crawling underneath. There is nothing I can't do laying under a car that can be done if I flip the car over...I can ...

So you're selling a nice Pontiac to make space for a Chevy?
