That's how I (we) used to do the Jaguar E-types and various others. I don't know about £120,000 of gear, though. We used a great big crank operated crane to either pick the engine or frame up, whichever was needed for the particular vehicle. I guess if you want hydraulics and/ or electrics it might run something like that. G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
