How to Jack Up Frame for Car Alignment

DOUG JENKINS: Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now there's just more tedious blocking, fitting, guessing, trying to get the exact right purchase for the porta power, the exact right angle. The movement of the frame will be relatively quick and easy once he gets everything lined up. But he's been struggling with this now for a couple of hours getting everything straight, getting everything lined up and now he's jacking away. You can see it lift in the--at first, it'll lift the whole car until he's just pushing on the bend part of the wood. And you can see the car isn't chained down or anything, he doesn't have it fastened down real firm. Cause all he's doing is pushing on the wood here. And you can see it going up slowly and it's opening a gap now between the wood and the steel. So yeah look at the door gaps coming into shape there.
