Here ya go 'berto. At the moment my drip pan is MIA since a buddy of mine decided to rest his foot on it and wiped it out the other day. Shoulda put a bar underneath to support it on the other edge too I guess.

I've been thinkin about makin a revision to it and addin a bigger tool tray with a paper towel holder built in and then a separate shelf area for settin parts on too as these would be helpful additions smileys with beer

Another home boy engineered deal I made is an engine tilter that actually works and does so easily. Instead of suspending the bar and using the allthread as a part of the stressed structure (which tends to bow the allthread and make it hard to adjust the engine tilt angle), the allthread is captured in bearings on both ends and the engine hanger bracket rolls up and back on the tilter bar frame on bearings under and above the bar so the allthread bears no part of the load.

I made this tilter bar about 8" longer than any I've seen using 2 X 3 X 1/8" wall tubing with a piece of 1/2 X 2-1/2" flat bar stock welded end to end inside the tubing. I figure it could problee easily support close to a ton which is way more than it'll ever see. With this puppy I can tilt an engine and tranny at about a 50 degree angle which makes it ideal for gettin in some more "challenging" combinations since I always prefer to drop the engine and tranny in at the same time.

Before I built this one I bought 1 and borrowed another one time, both of which were so wimpy they were pitiful. When I made mine I made sure I'd never need another one winking smiley
