Didn't Mythbusters actually lift a full car with duct tape?

LOL I have an anniversary party SAT. and a family get together Sunday. My frame project was totally unplanned. Found out thurs the car was junk. Was told by the bodyshop manager the body was too far gone as well. Get it outta here. Asked if I had a frame there Monday AM when he opened, would he drop my body on the new frame?. Since it was already on the rig. He said, IF you have a frame here Monday, I'll do it for free. If your not here when I open, I'll have it towed. OOOOOHH A challenge HUH?? I left my house Sat @ 5 AM after finding a donor. Had to completely strip a complete car in a barn in Saleen. Right down to all the glass and doors, drivetrain, front clip and wiring. Fought like a banshee over the dash harness as it had all missing light sockets I had been looking for. Was home by 2:30pm! and had my frame out by 6pm!. Body was on my trailer by 8pm/dark. Stayed up all night sanding/blasting painting and by 3pm Sunday, it was in paint. Showed up at the shop @ 8AM with a new PAINTED frame. Shop owner still calls me Houdini. LOL

Guess my longwinded point is, I was in the middle of an unexpected clusterfuck and using unsafe materials. Take your time N be safe bro. You'll be fine. This is the only way I know to get your frame in/out. I had to go a LIL higher than you will to clear my trailor.

I worry greatly that you ever thought that was a good idea.

NEVER thought it was a good idea. As you can see I like cap stones. Solid and much stronger. JUSTA didn't have anything else to work with and a huge time crunch.

Looked more like a GTO crunch to me...

time ... CRUNCH. Really not the best choice of words. *wince*
