    Default a frame

    Hi all I'm looking at building an a frame to flip the nova on. Obviously I know it depends on how strong you make it but do people think it would be an issue to leave the glass in ?

    Lazyness would be my bet, [INNUENDO ALERT] or worrying about breaking it whilst taking it out... not thinking that it may break whilst still in.

    Sorry, building an A-frame as in to tow or building a frame to turn it over?

    an a frame to tow will be fine a frame to turn the Nova over will cause it to be top heavy so not really practical along with what has been said

    Its to turn it over. The reason I want to do it is so I can clean the underneath and paint it. But as its a drive build I didn't want the elements to possibly go through the cover. Thanks for the help. I will just have to put it on stands and go from underneath.

    Thanks as always though.
