How about an electrically power assisted column?
Just one more?
I've made up citric acid gel by adding xanthan powder to the acid solution. Seems to work just like the deox-gel.
Lasers off a levelled steel frame. It's up to DaveAndDave but 1/8" probably isn't worth worrying about in this case.
I'm mildly surprised that no-one has commented on this. I don't know what the Ford tolerance is but this might help you decide what you would...
