Whats the best way to go about supporting all this.. Tips please and any important notes would be greatly appreciated.. Pics to...
I use some 1" square tubing, and of course remember that any X brace is much stronger then a single piece.... You not only have to support things vertically, but you have to brace against any lateral or forward and back movement.... Also, once you have things braced and start cutting, DON'T MOVE THE CAR!!!!
