RE: [Chevelle-List] SoCal Tools, Beg Borrow or Steal...
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I didn't take any pictures, but my friend Rick who helped me build the motor still has the stand. We had a real stand that we built the motor on, which allowed us to rotate the motor and all, but that belongs to Rick's boss and we couldn't remove it from the shop, So, we also made the wooden stand just for sitting the motor on while it sat on Rick's trailer on the way to my brother's house. Then we picked up the motor w/ a cherry picker, set the wooden stand on my brother's driveway, and put the motor back on it while we got things ready. The stand was just a rectangular 2x4 frame with pairs of 2x4s nailed together at right angles on top of that to create "rails" that the engine could sit on. Like I said, once the engine was on this thing, we had no access to the oil pan, but otherwise it was fine. Next time I go out to Long Island I'll see if I can take a few pictures of it. I also just got some new pix of the El Camino today from Ron Miller at the body shop. He hasn't done much to it so far other than take the front & rear glass out and start working on the rust in the channels. I will add them to my El Camino web site though asap. I am going out there on Saturday to see the car as well, and will take more pix. Also, for the person who asked the vinyl roof question, my El Camino had a vinyl roof and somebody took it off, and sanded & primed where it was. I am not putting the vinyl roof back. It's a bear though to sand off all the glue that normally holds the vinyl top in place.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List If you just need a place to let the engine sit for a while, you can make a stand out of 2x4s. You won't be able to get at the oil pan, but that's about the only thing you won't be able to get at. John Nasta Old Car Network http://oldcarnetwork.com -Original Message- Howdy, Anyone here in Southern California have a spare engine stand I could use for a bit? How about a cherry picker?
