The proverbial light bulb just came on my friend! I think I lke your method. Sometimes thinking outside the box makes a big difference. All of this time I am thinking external tooling and attatchement points and you just got me thinking about using the frame itself as an anchor point for other tooling to work off of.
Excellent advice!!!!
