SO after reading many posts about Jigs and replacing panels and the need for the Jig to handle things like unever floors I got worried.

Being nierther a body man nor a welder by trade I am even more neverous about cutting the floor and rockers out of my car.

So yesterday the Wife asy hey wanna go to the Bass Pro shop.. I say hell yeah.... (realise this was a scam thier is also an outlet and a Christmatree shop near by his is where she really wanted to go..)

Any way I saw at the proshop a vast amout of those Legs with wheels @ the bottom and a crank to raises and lower the boat trailers.

So I got to thinking two of those in the back and one in the front of a basic Jig will aloow you to move it around and level it @ will...

Any thoughts or feebback apprecited...

Go to a tractor supply store http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/DisplayCategory_10551_10001_131302_14339__14297|14 337|14339
and you will find a large collection of these for all types of trailer jacks,
I was thinking of something like that but dont know yet if I will do it.

Cut copy past the link if that does not work do this
http://www.tractorsupply.com then click on Vehicle Maintenance, Trailers, jacks and there you will find a nice list of heavy duty jacks the one you showed only had a 800 lb rating
some of these have a 2000Lb rating they have wheels for sale separate on some with on others
