If you have a complete car or can find one, this will assure you have the right measurements, and after you weld up the jig you can double check your measurements.

Here's mine-I've been dying to post these pictures,I just finished the jig today!
I got the main I-beams from a neighbor.He knocked down a building on his property and these were left in the rubble.
I waited until the ground was frozen and dragged them through the yards with a truck.
One was significantly longer than the other,I cut off half the difference and welded it to the shorter one.They were in crappy shape,they'd been exposed to the weather forever.I ground and flap-wheeled the crud off them and painted them.
I bought the rest of the steel for the jig and have been working on it for a few months now.
I got it leveled to within .3 degrees in both axes using leveling bolts in the base of each "foot".
Obviously the lumber is not part of the jig,it's just something to rest the car on for now.
Now I need the wheels and tires so I can set ride height,secure the car to the table and start the chassis.
I just need a massive money injection!

Nice job,Dad.Don't get discouraged it doesn't happen overnight and not everyone has an endless wallet.
