Can't believe it would cost that much. My father built a home in Florida on the waterway and had it made with an opening for the elevator. Purchased a cab that holds 4 people and states a limit of 700 lbs. It was installed in 1982. Has two upright I beams attached to the cement pad at the...

Finally started on my 1,400 sq. ft. shop in the basement of my home. This shows about 30% of the floor space down. All the walls will be pegboard, screwed up. This was from suggestions from you guys about not putting up permanent sheet rock when there is good likelihood that electrical or...

I have an old steel drafting desk with a wood top. 32" by 60" that is heavy as hell. I put a three wheel dolly under each leg and it is the best item in my shop. Wheel it up tight to the wall and when I want to use it for a project I can wheel it easily to any spot in the shop.

Here are a pictures of the two Model A's. The Roadster has been in my family since it was born. The Town Sedan is a tremendous barn find that I just found over near Nashville and plan to transport to my home in Georgia right after Christmas. Also decided, after the advice on the walls, that I...

I will certainly send pictures when it comes together. Right now it is being emptied of boxes and furniture we are selling in our downsizing. Good idea about the walls that could be taken down. I will definitely consider that one. I have worked with my fathers shop with minimal lighting that...

I am finally working on my new shop. This is about 1,400 sq. ft. and is about 2/3 of my basement with driveway on one side. I have attached a sketch of the layout. Most important is that it must be where my two Model A's are bedded down. I also will have a wood working shop included. The...

The pictures are like the one I saw, but a lot more beefy than the one I used. I will look up both brands mentioned. Hopefully they are less expensive than two or four column lifts.

Getting ready for a new shop. I had a friend years ago that had an electric powered hydraulic scissor type lift. I remember it worked fine to lift a car to work around the outside and much of the underneath could be reached. I am going to use this only with my two Model A's and a max weight...

I'm new to the garage journal. Been a part of the Model A forum for years. Just now moved to a new home and have a 900 sq. ft. basement workshop with garage door entry. I am thinking about the locking tiles. I see recommendations for Racetrac. I like the coin type and Racetrac is $2.99 per...
