Shop Press

By the time you get the materials, buy a jack and do the fabrication I still think something like this ... with an additional 20% off coupon ... is a better way to go.

The last two even come with arbor plates.

The 12 ton is only 6 inches wider and deeper so not that much larger a foot print. And even if you have a jack it is nice to have one dedicated to the press so you can just use it rather than hunt it down from where ever you put it after you jacked up the car.
