(10) 2x10x12s
(4) 4x4x8s
(2) 4x8 sheets of plywood
(12) 1/2 13 x 6'' bolts
(2) 1/2 13 x 4'' bolts
(28) 1/2 fender washers
(14) 1/2 lock washers
(14) 1/2 nuts
200-300 3'' screws. (not sure how many because I already had them).

thats what, about $300-400 in materials?

Before I had my hoist, I used to use a fork lift. It works on trucks, but I wouldn't trust it on the stang.

That is a good idea but I would have a more substantial boards supporting the weight.

How long does it need to be up there? I'm thinking just find a good train crossing, and hit it at about 130... that should get you at least 2' of air.

yup...that'll do it.
