as many of us are restoring dubs will know the old body on tressels is a pain in the ass for a variety of reasons. So a couple of week ago I sat down for half a day and $35 later this is what I threw together. I hade the top section removable also so I can transport it when I need to 🙂

anyone have any ideas to improve my basic design?

What about 2 giant engine stands set up so you can bolt each end to it and rotate the body like a BBQ pig on a spit. saw one somewhere, you could work all day without bending over, you could even weld panels sitting on a bar stool. all welds down hand... too easy
