I started stripping my Goldie today, so I knocked this cradle together to support it while working.
I rough cut the base and overlong uprights. I then clamped the uprights together and used a large Forstner to drill the support cut-outs and cut off the tops off the uprights to give me half-round cradles for the way tubes. A few angle brackets later all glued and screwed, and I have a good work stand.
I can even turn the unit on its side to access the underside.
WOW.............. I thought my Mark VII was in bad shape. You really have your work cut out for you. Good luck but when it is finished you will be very pleased.
