Hi Angelo,

I saw a post on this list a few months back that contained a link to a web-site 
that had plans and pictures
of what you are looking for. I can't search for it Today (the wife have plans) 
but I'll look Tonight.
I know I saved the letter.

John

Hello listers:
Just managed to get the TR3 body off the frame and have sent off the frame
for sandblasting & a bit of welding.  Anyone ever contemplated "turning"
the 3 body on its back or side to get at parts of the floor & underside for
ease of welding?  I am considering making a wooden frame/ jig of some
description to hold the body while I attempt to turn it.  The floors are
reasonably solid in the car and have the door openings braced.  Am I
courting disaster here by putting the body in compromising positions (side,
back) and risking distorting the body beyond repair?

Thanks for any advice on this.  Sure would make welding much easier if you
could weld "down" on the various bits.
