Can you post some pics of your FLUSH mounted ones ( mine are a tripping hazard) . I sure would like to cut holes in my deck floor and flush mount mine.


We are going after a donor truck today. I will try to remember to take some.

Nice score! Do you have the LQ4 and the 4L80e on that Handy motorcycle lift? How sturdy does it sit up there? I have one myself but thought it might get a little wobbly when lifting it up. I guess with the right supports under the oil pan and trans it could work out well like you have it.

I can image that's quite a feeling running that truck along down the hiway hauling your coupe on the deck. Not just knowing how cool it will look to all who see (that like that sort of thing), but your experience sitting in that seat holding that wheel hearing that engine, looking over that hood.

Nice shop I've been working on mine. I've got to see a lot of old-timers shops that used ways on how to save time space in their shops. I come across them Card file metal cabinets So I sorted all my bolts that I've collected over the 25 years being in the scrap and salvage business. I hang my wire above me all my water hoses are above me anything I can just tug on and pull the right length is best done that way I will get you a pic later In my shop Time is the Issue no need trying to find some that will take you 30 mins to find. Get projects done faster.

Barrett Jackson was really the initiator of all these folks thinking their $1500 junk in the garage is worth $15,000. They basically contributed to the car hobby being priced out of sight and unreachable for the "blue collar man"

"I saw one of these sell on Barrett Jackson for $150,000"
