Car stands......

Ok, so I am wondering what the stands that you attach to the bumper tie in points, or frame so you can turn the car right over and work on the bottom of the car while standing up. I can't think of the name of these, i've seen a picture before of them, but now I am into a project RX-7 where I would like to buy/build these things to make my life easier to get the underhalf of the car done right.

If any of you's have a website or some pistures of some, that would be great, because im concocting stuff up to build a couple, and I know that I will make it alot more complicated then it probably would have to be to work right.

and damn those wreckers, if it wasnt for them and their friggen fork lift this car would be in pristine shape and no body work other then some rust would of been it for me, but now i have few dents to pop out and fix while im at it.

Anyways, help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

People call them different things. I've heard "Splits" and "Rotisserie".

I got these pics from Mazdatrix.com

They uesd two engine stands and made their own bumper attachment parts.

Engine stand is how I have always done them. Cheap $30 units work fine. Make sure to put a tube between them like shown in the pic.
