[QUOTE="54First, post: 11574052, member: 110504"] Not sure I can include my pictures. I'll try. Here's the post: I would suggest a hydraulic floor jack of your choice. Make sure it has a removable cup. Then modify a couple of bolts (I used 1 1/8" diam by I think 1 1/2 long) by clamping them end to end and drill a hole between the heads. Put one in the jack in place of the cup. Now you've got a floor jack that works on a pinch weld. You may have to grind the heads a little to more easily fit the pinch groove. A couple of years ago Kragen (now O'Reilly's) had a 3 ton floor jack that locks in place at 4 different heights. I bought four and now I can work under the car with all four wheels off the ground. I haven't seen them since, but maybe someone has them. As far as jacking by the pumpkin, even if you can get the jack under it, make sure you have enough room to pump the jack handle. Steve Can't post the pics. Link, post #4: [ame="http://www.fordgt500.com/forums/showthread.php?p=164784#post164784"]Need a jack- options and opinions? - Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 Forum[/ame] [/QUOTE]
