Work Table with two side tool tray
Well I decided to make a work table to put under the hood to support my body comfortably, secure and with two places to put tools, accessories etc.ffice
I used a piece of pine triply: 22 x 59 x ¾”, added 2 rear legs: One of 2 ¾ x 1 3/16 x ¾” with a concavity reducing to 1 1/8” in the middle, for the support on the alternator; and other of 2 ¾ x 2 3/16 x ¾”, reducing in the middle to 2 1/8” for the support on the A/C.<O
And added 3 front legs of 2 ¾ x 4 x ¾” to support the table in the metal core? In front of the radiator, the middle one, behind of the hood lock. With that height the upper radiator hose has enough room and don’t be compressed. Added in each side 4 tables: 1 x ½” forming a rectangle to support tools and in the middle I put a piece of under carpet and after that a comfortable piece of carpet fixed with staples. The aprox. weight is 24 lbs. It works very well for me, so I wanted to share with you. The pic below is as the finished table looks like.

Well thank you to all of you my friends. Yes there are foam under the carpet and yes I only remove the Ford emblem and replace it with an International, I like it a lot, people cant believe it when they see it, first because its diesel and it look like a Ford. LOL. And cOOn, it doesnt cost me any money, was made with some wood scrap= 0 bucks. 
and no more ribs bruised or very soar for a several days and your low abdomen will be happy without the "knife" of the lock hood. HE HE HE
Thanks again, best regards.
