JIG
This jig is made of 2"x 2" square tubing, 11 gauge about 1/8" thick. The
supports look crooked but the camera angle makes it that way. It's all
bolted together at 25 ft. lbs. to be consistent. It can be taken apart
and leaned against the wall with nothing protruding. There's an angle
iron hiltied to the floor on all four corners.
I have two more side supports laying on the floor, one for the trunk
floor mount and one between the door jambs. It's so solid right now I
didn't need to put them in. Pictures number 11 and 12 shows how I
welded the washer to the round tubing. 1-3/4" O.D., 1/8" thick, then
I put the welded washer and tube inside the hole, and welded the round
tubing to the square tubing. It keeps it neater for the built-in washer
on the body bolt.

TRUNK PANEL
This is a piece of original trunk panel, with a solid steel bar. Goodmark
front panels don't line up with the factory groove. This works really good
and it's fast. Picture number 2, open the vise about that much. Lay the flat
bar in as far as you want the groove, and hit it pretty hard. Those Goodmark
panels are pretty easy to groove. Picture number 3 shows the groove about
5-6 inches long.
