My next door neighbor (great friend) has a bunch of scrap metal at his job and the other day while talking shop he said he can fab up a jack-a-vette for me.
Can anybody who has one please give me the correct dimensions so he can fab up one for me? Thank you.

If you're fabricating your own I'd think you would use your own dimensions and gauge everything on what the "friend" has available to him. The base of the adapter fit to the jacking pad of your intended jack is I believe more critical than some think. A correct fit to that assures no problems when used. Using dimensions from your car (between the exhaust) would be more beneficial than just using dimensions used by someone else.
Fabricate it once and no modifications afterwards.
