Lifting assistance in Denver next Saturday - 11/6

Post by waverous »

Looking to lift my Bronco body off its supports in my garage, turn it back over, and lower it back on the frame this next Saturday - 11/6 - mid-morning. My lifting assistance will be unavailable this weekend to help so I need to find 2-3 other people to help if possible. It took us about 20 minutes to lift and turn the body last time, so I figure the same amount of time will be required this time. The body isn't really heavy, it is just awkward and needs to be four-cornered.

I live close to the Lowry area

I will take volunteers to breakfast and pay for your time

Please PM me and let me know

I want to thank everyone who assisted me yesterday in lifting my Bronco body back onto the frame. It is a wonderful testament to the camaraderie felt among mebers in this community of Bronco enthusiasts. I regret not being more involved with this new (as opposed the old Bronco Registry of Northern Colorado group) group than I than I have in the past. Thanks again guys!

I do want to apologize for my quick departure from the impromptu meetup that formed after the events as I was waiting for a call from vet - my buddy - a german shepherd named Baron - became very sick early Saturday morning and we rushed him to the vet. While he was undergoing treatment, I returned home and prepared for the lift while waiting for a phone call regarding Baron's condition. Long story short, Baron passed away yesterday, but that isn't what I want to focus on here.

Thank you guys!

I'm very sorry for the loss of your pal, I lost my pal, Buddy the lab last year. It's amazing how they become such an important part of your family.
