Front Clip Stand Design Needed
Looking for example of stand used to store front clip as one piece. Was hoping to do it vertically. Anybody done this. Alternative would be to build a rack to store each fender/ inner fender on. Tight on storage space.
Thanks, Les |

Re: Front Clip Stand Design Needed
All I can say is Just Build Something. There is no right or wrong way but what works for you. If you're looking for storing the clip, build what you need.
Here is the cab dolly I built so I could roll it around and even roll it onto its back, so I could do the underside of the cab. As Nike says, Just Do It

Re: Front Clip Stand Design Needed
I have stored the front clip complete before by just stanining it on the edge of the fender up against the wall (or fence in my case).
If your worried about the edges of the fenders getting damage, just slit some heater hose length wise and tape it to the edge so that the hose protects it from what you sit it on.

Re: Front Clip Stand Design Needed
thanks for all the suggestions. Know how to proceed now.
BTW my wife found all my truck parts hiding place in the house. Now only cook truck parts in the oven when she is gone. Les |
