+1 for engine cranes. I got lucky when I found my home's previous owner had left one above the rafters in the garage.

WHAT ?!?!??
I want to move to your neighborhood. At best, all you'd find here is Halloween or Christmas stuff.
Or a snow shovel.....
Oh yeah, this house was a veritable jewel box. My man left us an aluminum row boat and a full sized truck box as well. And a pretty good garage stereo which I still use.
Also some aluminum scaffolding (stolen by scrappers, alas) and a (I think) early-60s Willies truck carcass, sans engine, interior and anything not rusted through, which was behind the back fence, at least partly on our property but mostly on the power company's right-of-way, meaning I had to get special permission for JR-the-Junkyard-Guy to come and haul it away (after which the scaffolding and several truck wheels also disappeared).
Also: lots of lumber, some of it burned, from where he'd hastily taken the pool deck apart. About 10 gallons of used oil. And a badly-engineered secondary A/C air handling unit in the attic, which is still there. . . .
There's a rowing machine I've never put together. I should probably get rid of it.
Gone: the F-250, an '80s Camaro and the cinder blocks it was resting on, a very new looking 20-foot ski boat, several jet skies, and more motorcycles and motorcycle parts (some were in the living room) than I could inventory.
Foreclosure sales are a trip.

I went to get the what I thought was a lower fiber sheet ready to ship you and realized it is actually the upper pc. I did find a lower pc. I had made from galvanized sheet metal that I never used that I will send you, I needed to bend it to ship but it is thin enough to flattened out nicely or use as an easy trace to make a part out of the material of your choice. Good luck with your car.
I had replied using my iPhone but don't see the post. Thank you Jimmy V.! I received the templates and tins! This will help me out big time!
