I built this swing set 3" top ridge pipe 4 2 " leg pipes' two welded corner brackets that the ridge pipe and the four leg pipes slide into, Everything fir into the trunk of my 63 Galaxy. The legs were always too short. But I used concrete block to get the extra height. Even then I cheated . I cut the radiator cross support nd slid the engine and trans over the front bumper of the 63 I always had low garage ceilings. When I worked at Craig Taylor equipment they had rigid ( like a swing set0 with I beam bottoms on large metal castor wheels The chain fall hoist was on a trolley . That always stayed there on the shop . I could have used it if only my garage ceiling were higher. I borrowed a portable hydraulic engine hoist only to find it wouldn't work on lifting the engine out of the Cobra replica. My swing set With concrete blocks is what I used on my patio. I had a ratcheting Cyclone chain hoist hook as short as I could.. Not apro set up that's what I used.
