2. Cut and weld the pieces as shown in the picture.

3. These are 2 separate pieces welded together.

5. Additionally - Drill a 1/2” hole in each stand to connect it to the other wing with a 1-3/4” X 10’ box tubing.


WARNING: Do not move or touch the vehicle while it is on stand without first connecting the stands to each other. Be sure that the tubing goes at least 6” into each stand and is bolted securely. If you fail to do this, the stand could fold under the vehicle damaging you and the panel involved.
