A mate of mine just made one for his Pontiac, he used 2 engine stands, 2 hydraulic rams and lots of steel. he went from the bumper mount at back and chassis mount of firewall, I had a thought of using it after he is done with it for my van but the mounting would be awkward. back maybe top hinge mounts, front maybe bumper mounts but reckon van would have to be stripped right down (no doors, susp or interior) as those points are the strongest

G'day

Years ago I saw one made out of heavy wall 50mm pipe holding up a Pontiac.
One pivot point had a clamp to hold it and at the other end he had a truck brake adjuster at the pivot point to turn it.
A truck brake adjuster has a reduction gearbox in it and allowed him to rotate it to any angle safely as a one man operation.

And no I didn't have my camera.
