How long?
My Dad came over at 9am. I piddled around for awhile, came up with the game plan, and we took off the front bumper (rear was already off). Then we went to get the wood and bolts. Ate a Whopper lunch at the King. Got back around 12:30 and went to work. Finished up around 3pm. Took most of the day--about three times longer than I thought it would!
When lowering to final position before rolling, the front end slipped off the jack once, but it was already low at that point. Here's a pic just before the big roll:
You can see some of the old tires and pads on the left to cushion the side. She's on two four by fours stacked on top of each other at the frame "rails" above.
Another view:
Note: I cut off the right rear vertical board to lower the right side even more before the flip. Wood is bolted to bumper holes. Levers are 2 X 6 X 10 foot boards.
Other side:
And another view:
After he left, I managed to take off all the old corroded lines, stabilize the car on its side, cover it with a tarp, and clean up.
