Day 1929 “Tire Cribs”

So in order to get my transmission out in the next few weeks, I decided to build 2×4 wooden tire cribs to hold up the car while my brother and I work on the car. I was looking at race ramps or something similar that would hold up the car safely and found several people that have built these 2×4 cribs.

I knew I could build them to my specs ramps and all. So that’s what we did.

I used CAD to make all my dimensions and to measure the front air scoop and bumper to make sure I would clear without needing extra lift to get on the ramp.

We got the cribs made today hopefully we will finish the ramps and then they are ready for service

First rear crib 20″x14″x12 tall.

Front cribs: 20″x14″x8″ What’s neat about these is with ramps you can roll up onto 8in tall crib. Then if you are using the 12in rear crib then you can raise the car in the front and drop on these inserts that make them the same height as the rear.

They stack nicely too lol.
