Re: GARAGE

I need a house first, hopefully the VA loan helps with that....... lol!!! Then I can get a lift!!!!

I'll bet you would use it a lot, breaking your car at the track - you lucky guy.

Re: GARAGE

There's been a lot of interest in my lift. So here's some pictures:


It weigh's over 1500#  so you can't exactly have it delivered to your house.
I had it shipped to our shop and brought it home on the trailer here.

Then backed it under my chain hoist to lift it off.

Everything is packed between the ramps, here's the parts.

Asembled.  took about 6 hours, two guys.

you can also see I was putting in my benches at that time

It is so usefull, I highly recommend. I use it when detailing as well, raise it up and buff the sides.
Getting older, sore back ya know.

My car, before major mods - was welding in my Roush subframes in this pic.

I can bairly fit both cars in this bay.
If you're planning on a lift in your garage I'd go 12' -15' ceiling.
Mine's 10' high.  that's all the higher I could go - thanks to the nazzi city inspectors here.

Re: GARAGE

I need a garage! But I need my own house first.

Re: GARAGE

Yeah, I beat on it at the track, but I take care of it too, so it hopefully wont break there, as I have no "chase" vehicle of any sort.

I woulda cut a hole in the roof for the top of the project car to go into, then you can get away with it with the building inspectors.

OK - the word of the day is  D R A W E R S

I'm making my own - that will fit undernieth the benches - I'm making 2 banks. one is 18" wide, and the other is 48" wide!
I had the steel sheared and formed up out of 16 gauge. Got the first set welded up last night.
Here's some pix.


Starts as a Pile of steel.
I like new gray steel!

:thumbsup:

You suck because you can weld and I can't.

No fair.

 

[Dalamar]

Had a busy week, only got 1 set done.

Built the frame and tack'd on the slides.
125# hinges from austin hardware make the drawer slida all the way out.

1 down, 2 to go!!

This whole thing cost me $110 in materials. WOOT!

 

[Win]

Damn i can't wait to get a Welder. Luckily i worked at a muffler shop for a while so i am pretty good at welding. Those things look KICK A**

 

[Paul]

You should make me some. I'd even give you $220 for one of those. That's fully TWICE the cost of materials. LOL




...but seriously. You should.

 

[Dalamar]

we should talk about that.
I have sum ideas.

 

[mikey94gt]

I have ideas too, but no good ones.

I like the tool chest/storage you made. awesome fabrication!!!!

 

[Dalamar]

Thanks man.

 

[Cookieman00x]

Lol, thats a cool project... Nice..

 

[Dairy King]

You've seriously inspired me to go clean up my garage and add some benches and stuff.

Awesome work man

 

[Dalamar]

Glad I could help Dairy!

I've been gone for about 9 days, and need to get some more done out there!

 

[Dairy King]

Any progress?

 

[Hoseitdown]

[Dalamar]

I'm still working on finishing them up, and cleaning up the garage, and working on the 67, and shuffeling work and family stuff....
Worked there last night and will again toinght. I'll snap some shots.
