Old Edsels never die, they just go to Sweden!

I still get jealous seeing you work under a lift. Great work.

 

Great work duded, I have much admiration for you frozen guys living in the permafrost.

 

Thanks for the props, guys.

 

My and Mats lift is verry good to have it been great since we bought it

Yes, we purchased it together - but we put it in my garage. It often helps out to be able to work as a team and I completely agree the lift is absolutely awesome !

 

UPDATE:


Did fix the cross member to frame connections


Since there (with one exception) no longer are any welded nuts left I enlarge the holes so I can …


… weld back a new nut (M10)


My son helps me out




Same procedure is repeated twice on the opposite side




I think this will work just fine

 

10mm in an edsel
I guess you use what ya got.

I have a stupid question? are your ratchets 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive or metric?

you said you didnt have a square bit for the rear drain, but over here it is just the 3/8 ratchet size.

I guess I have too much time on my hands to think about things like that.

 

I think there are no stupid questions

M10 means the threaded part is 10mm thick, the bolt head is 16mm (5/8 inch) wich is slightly bigger than the 9/16 inch I recide in the metric part of the world, and inch size bolts are really scarce around here ...

I have both 3/8 and 1/2 inch ratchets, but I really couldn't see how any of them could fit the drain plug - perhaps I did not squeeze hard enough

 

Thought I would pass along pix of this Edsel collection. These are in Lugoff, SC
