Nope. Using what I got. I figure this 2 car will keep me from getting more vehicles I dont need. :D

Got some stuff done in the garage this past weekend. Im planning on installing a two post, base lift, so I need to decide where I want the columns and where I need to remove the drywall to get to the trusses. I plan on modifying them to where I have an extra 2' of head room and I can extend the lift all the way up without the roof of the car hitting the ceiling.
Lining up the Stang so that I know where to place the columns.

The fan will be relocated.

These 2 lights will be moved closer to the wall and I will be adding 3 additional lights.

I will push the Stang out while we drill and modify the trusses.

Very nice!!!
Dbl posting in this bitch!!
Got your work cut out for ya! Gonna be worth it though in the end.
We drilled a "Test" hole and concrete was 5.125" thick!! So no Concrete saw needs to be used!! However, we still have to move the ceiling up and move some lights around, so there will still be some down time till I can get back on this.
What lift are you going with and from where?
Since my ceilings are 9'3", I have to go with this one...

Cant beat those for the price. I wish I had taller ceilings...

They should have the light fixtures and fan moved, then the drywall finisher can come and hopefully knock this thing out!
That's awesome Craig.
Any pictures of how they modified the trusses?
Badass!!!!
Nice work!!!
Not a whole lot going on with anything. The Nova is on the lift getting some routine maintenance and the Mustang is at Cam Dedman's shop getting some work done.
The DOT, ET Streets are quick to smoke!

One day, Id like to do a similar set-up like this, in the Stang.

Hopefully I measured right...

It fits! This is the lift Max'd out and thats a 6' ladder, so its the same height as my overhead lift I had at my old garage.

Dropped off the Stang for some work.

Nothing too crazy, just a "Tiny Tub" so that I dont have to run wheel spacers and keep the stock tubs. I want to keep the backseat and keep the Stang as factory as possible, so that one day, I can run it in any class.

I found some pieces that might work, so hopefully Cam can design a bracket to allow me to run a Hyd Clutch set-up with this Coyote/TK package.

Where do you get that wrap? And what is it called? Is simply a shrink wrap, or a cling wrap, or what? Looks like it would be very useful for doing detail buffing work rather than using towels and miles of painters tape.
The 8 sec pass was very impressive btw. Well done.
