I built this rack for my Panel today

[pritch]

I got a few ideas from some others I'd seen and awhile back we had this leftover steel from a job so I put it to use. I drew up a plan and cut all the pieces:



Square up the frame and tack it together:



Flip it over and attach some wheels:



Flip it back over and build up the rest of it:



I made it high enough so I can work on the bottom with some comfort. Probaby more heavy-duty than it needs to be, but that body could be there for several years, according to my schedule. The body will sit on it just about like shown. If I did the math right, it should be fairly level, front to back.



Now I need to enlist some helpers to lift it off the frame and onto the rack. I've heard before that 6 guys can lift a 'Burb, but a Panel is a little heavier so I'm going to try and get 8. Man, I can tell already it's gonna take a lot of beer.
