Hey Guys, I have a lift (Bendpak/GrandPrix GP-7LCS) in my garage and I've found it useful to mark where to stop to line cars up properly with chassis jacking points. This lift is fairly narrow so a wider car like a new Mustang really needs to line up just right for the best lifting position...

Yep that laptop has an i3-2350M CPU which has on-die Intel HD Graphics 3000 and can absolutely do 1080p. OP needs to get an HDMI cable and just plug it in and see.

Hold on, is your laptop limited to 1600x900 at it's monitor or is the limit 1600x900 at the graphics card? These are two completely different limitations. Post the exact model of the laptop. I almost 100% guarantee your graphics card (or integrated on-die graphics) will scale resolution to...

The differentiation is really not so much 4-post vs 2-post, but "chassis" vs. "drive on". It's generally accepted that it's much easier to work on a chassis lift, since you can easily go wheels off and maneuver around the vehicle. Of course chassis lifts tend to be 2-post, and that also helps...

Thanks! It's about 1500sqft, like 46x32" approximately.

Wanted to give you guys an update on my use of the garage and Mustang build. It’s always been the plan to get long tube stainless steel headers for my S550 Ford Mustang. There are many different choices for this platform, but Corsa headers really jumped out at me when I was shopping. It’s no...

Yep I'm in Houston. Well Cypress really which is a suburb. I moved just before the hurricane. I got lucky and water only came up to my sidewalk and that was it. I'm near Cypress Creek which was what flooded a lot of the stuff on the north west side of Houston. The Mustang is a 2016 year GT with...

Thanks guys! Glad you like my build. I'll post a lot more pictures as I start other projects around the shop. Thanks, I'm going to be mostly working on sports cars like that supercharged mustang in the pictures. I just ordered some new headers, return fuel system with a new fuel rail and...

I love working on cars and I've done some pretty significant repairs and mods on jack stands in apartment parking lots an cramped garages. However, I've always wanted a garage with space and amenities to help me tackle bigger projects. I wanted working conditions that eliminated the dread of...

1. I just did a 24k (2t) BTU MR COOL DIY minisplit and it was plenty for my space ~(1,500sqft, well insulated). Simple install and no ducting. 12K (1t) should be plenty for 500sqft. A lot of it is insulation quality. I've seen 3.5t fail to cool the same space 2t cools easily after good...

Definitely interested in a GP-7LCS, any idea when these come out? Just submitted the form on the group buy link :).

Oh wow! 8’ 10” OVERALL HEIGHT That's a game changer for sure for me. http://www.bendpak.com/GrandPrix-Car-Lift-GP-7-Two-Post.pdf Looks like it would be a perfect fit. I'm also seeing a group buy here, looks a little more $ than the Atlas, but a better fit maybe...

Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate it. I could do a similar setup to yours, though I literally just sheetrocked it hahaha :). The smallest bendpak seems to be 113" which is a hair taller. Maybe this is a new unit not on their site yet. Going to do some more research. A sub 9ft unit would be...

Definitely sounds like a good idea! You can easily put yourself in a corner where you can't go up anymore :). How tall is the BP8000, is it actually 9ft once installed? I noticed you cut into your ceiling.

Hey Guys! So I was ready to pull the trigger on the Dannmar MX-6, but I saw the price just went back up to $2,299. My guess is it's so they can discount it for black Friday, but I could be wrong ;). This got me thinking and researching again. I'm still considering the Atlass BP8000 for my...
