Neat! I could sure use a couple of those as many times as I've had the wheels on and off this car, plus the two side mounts! Where did you get your little buddys?

Just saw this thread - Marshall, I surely would have helped you if I'd been there, but I don't get to your neck of the woods too often. Let me know the next time you're going to do something like that, though.

I'm fortunate enough that when I know I have to do something strenuous like lift a body or install a drive train I can call upon a number of my equally youth-challenged club compatriots. I think that about five 70- and 80-year olds is equal to two 30-year olds.

Marshall, I got them from the fella that made them, but he has since retired. They still list them at Smith & Jones but they don't have any https://www.snjparts.com/5709-a-1013.html
