The surface place shown above belongs to 21st century street machines where I work. It would be very expensive to replicate with today’s steel prices. It has a very heavy C channel frame that has gussets and crossbeams welded underneath it. It has 12 leveling feet on it and the top surface the black part of it is 1/2 inch steel. It was welded together, then some on who new what they were doing heated and cooled it to get it flat again it has huge amounts of discoloration on the under side of the steel where you can see that they were able to get if flat again. When we got it the gray parts were open to the floor and made it very hard to work on when you needed to get under the car you were falling in to a big hole so we made the gray plates to fill in the holes.

Also this isn’t what I would call adjustable this plate is setup to work on first generation camaros you could work on other cars on it but you would have to build the new supports and fixturing for whatever the car you were working on. If you are only building one car this could be a very expensive route to go. And on top of that this plate is huge if you put it in a two car garage I don’t think you could get much else in there.
