I spent the day stripping my parts car and thought it might be easier to get the suspension and steering off if it were upside down.

What corn?

I guess I know who NOT to get some help from for suspension issues.

Nice, I was wondering as I clicked what kind of speed you needed to carry to actually flip our cars

I hope you removed the nuts from the top of the struts before flipping it over

I did remember. I was actually scared to be under the thing as it was so rusted there was no good place to put jack stands. I was afraid it would break in half if I removed any cross members.

Now that you mention it, I hadn't even noticed the rust on that thing. :eek:

I once flipped a 260 onto it's side in a field

All that was needed was a sturdy fence post, a chain block and a length of rope. Method- Place the rope over the roof and tie off the end under the car.I tied it to rear sway bar.Find a post or tree not too far away and anchor end of chain to this, then tie the rope to the chain block. Take up the slack and start hauling away. I had to prop the car halfway through, and readjust the chain.

With the car on its side, I made it safe with an oil drum then proceeded to strip what I wanted.
