Another front clip?

Hi all, so I,m pulling the clip to fix some broken exhaust bolts. Any one have an idea of how to support the clip while its off. I would like it to be up off the ground so I can detail it, I,m too old to work down low like the old days. Thanks for all ideas.

I'm subscribing to this because I already have my front clip of and resting on a couple of 2x4s strung between two buckets, but there has got to be a better way.

So heres another problem, the truck has working AC. How exactly do I deal with removing those parts? Do I have to release the gas that's in the system, or is there another way.? thanks again.

For the AC, can you pull the condenser off the clip and leave it with the engine?

This way you don't have to evacuate the system...

Suspend it from the core support from a cherry picker....loosen the radiator a bit and use a piece of cable.

What he said on the condenser.
