Love your comment on welding real steel. so many times welding panels and either burning through or cold weld. Nice to get a full power arc going . I agree that the car will be light on the roof and therefore the centerline is closer to the mass (frame) great work so far looking forward to part 2
The more I look at it I think the C/L is fairly low. The primary work will be stripping repairing and painting the bottom. I will be adding sound deadening and possibly subframe connectors so the bottom will only get heavier.
Yup those numbers were the first thing I actually measured. Figuring worts case scenario it is more than high enough off the ground to rotate right now. But a little higher would be easier to work on.

very nice project .. , consider the height not only to be able to flip it, but try making it adjustable enough so you are at ease working on it ...
Yup I also have the rails of the garage door to deal with. The legs may be adjustable but who knows at this point...
Don't forget, height as when you flip the body, it needs to be high enough to clear the sides of the car,
