First step. I have lots of this 6 inch x 4 inch W beam. We use it as the track for our target retrieval systems. It's an i beam but this configuration they call W beam. The flanges have no taper. The caster is rated for 1000 lbs. It has rounded over wheels which makes it easy to change directions.

The tubing is 2x2x1/4 inch. I wanted to make sure this thing was going to fit perfect. So I tacked everything in place. The rear jacking points are about 2 inches wider than the front.

After getting the front and back tacked up left to right, it's time to connect the front section to the back.

More tack welding. I didn't want this thing warping during finish welding.

Added a few braces and finish welding. I would weld a little on one corner, then go to another corner so as not to add too much heat too fast to one side. This is to keep it from warping.

I was alone in the shop this day so I installed the wheels to get it to the back of the shop. My buddies Z4 is here and I didn't have enough room to use my forklift. In the background is one of two air scrubbers. Time for finish grinding and paint prep.

Signal red? Close. Because why not take pride in your work and finish it right. I'll be looking at this thing the rest of the year.

Almost finished. Damn that car needs to go a lot higher. Good thing I have an endless supply of 4x4's.

I machined 1 inch square holes in 1/4 inch stock. I only tack welded these on in case something did warp during finish welding. That way I could easily shift them if needed.

I had some 1/4" rubber laying around. This should even out the pressure.

I jacked the car up very carefully. Inserting 4x4's whenever possible. Contact! No drama. I didn't warp. Everything lined up perfect.

I think the rubber is doing it's job.

Raison d'etre. This was last night. Notice I spun the car around. Worked like a charm. I wanted to use my forklift to support and lower the sub-frame. I might have to install my long forks to remove the IRS.
