1. Slipped concrete blocks under each main tire, hole side up, so they led the tires up, and also acted as a chock. 2. Placed two concrete blocks under the tail, oriented long-ways up. Added 2x4 spacers atop, until the aft of the aircraft was elevated above existing blocks on the support rails. 3. Slipped 2x4s under the concrete blocks on the mains. The aircraft was now above the metal rails that had supported it for so many months. 4. Removed metal rails, and the saw horses which supported them. 5. Removed all but one of the 2x4s supporting the tail. 6. Removed the 2x4sa under the concrete blocks supporting the main gear. 7. Removed the concrete blocks.
The aircraft is now resting on the shop floor on its gear, with the tail held up by concrete blocks. to compensate for the lack of the engine in front.
