Re: Chassis number

Thanks for the info everyone.I have found the number on the bulkhead of my 1953 car but not on the later body which has had a new floor panel welded in so there is no number there either.Cheers Paul

Re: Car rollers.

Thanks for the info everyone.I wondered about going through the car with a long tube,as on a Mini jig I have seen advertised on eBay but decided that with the engine and gearbox still fitted I would need a huge tube that would be too big to handle.Cheers Paul.

Car rollers.

I need to tip my car on it's side so that I can do the welding needed underneath.Buying an expensive roller for one job is a no no,so I intend to make one.I can get the metal tube curved at a friend's workshop but need to work out the measurements.Does anyone know of some plans I could buy or copy?P...
