Abstract
According to some embodiments, a vehicle restoration system comprises a first base unit, a second base unit, a third base unit, and at least a fourth base unit, an adjustment member positioned at each base unit, the adjustment member being configured to support a surface of a vehicle along an upper end of the adjustment member, the jack being configured to selectively change a vertical position of the upper end of the adjustment member, a first side member coupling the first base unit to the second base unit, a second side member coupling the third base unit to the fourth base unit, a first strut coupling the first base unit to the third base unit, and a second strut coupling the second base unit to the fourth base unit.

A method of selectively raising and lowering at least a portion of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- positioning a first strut and a second strut of a restoration system beneath at least a portion of the vehicle configured to be moved;
- wherein the restoration system comprises a first base unit, a second base unit, a third base unit and a fourth base unit, wherein each of the first, second, third and fourth base units comprises an adjustment member;
- wherein the first base unit is configured to couple to the third base unit using the first strut, and wherein the second base unit is configured to couple to the fourth base unit using the second strut;
- wherein the adjustment members are configured to selectively raise or lower at least one of the first strut and the second strut;
- and
- wherein the restoration system further comprises a first side member and a second side member, wherein the first side member is configured to couple the first base unit to the second base unit, and wherein the second side member is configured to couple the third base unit to the fourth base unit;
- and
- vertically modifying at least one of the adjustment members to selectively raise or lower at least one of the first strut and the second strut, and thus, the at least a portion of the vehicle supported by the restoration system.

- wherein the adjustment members are configured to selectively raise or lower at least one of the first strut and the second strut;
- and
- wherein the restoration system further comprises a first side member and a second side member, wherein the first side member is configured to couple the first base unit to the second base unit, and wherein the second side member is configured to couple the third base unit to the fourth base unit;
- and
- vertically modifying at least one of the adjustment members to selectively raise or lower at least one of the first strut and the second strut, and thus, the at least a portion of the vehicle supported by the restoration system.
