Thanks everyone for the ideas and help; I ended up just going with a standard two post setup. The added cost of materials (4x4, bars, cement, etc) was a bit more than I wanted to spend.
After reading a bunch of posts over at Crossfit.com I went with a screw-in mount on one side and a through...
Cool, thanks guys. Sounds like getting it setup will be the fun part. I should probably do it the right way and not wing it with my sawzall haha.

I cant do the engine stands as I don't have enough length in the garage to close the...
So here is what I have going on. I'm working on a 93 Mustang coupe and have the body completely stripped down to the shell. Currently its sitting on a Northern Tool furniture dolly out back and a boat trailer jack up front. The shell itself is pretty light and three guys could pick it up no...
