I picked up some “Garage Journal inspiration” from the lift modifications thread and decided to implement it with a twist. I ordered a laser module from Amazon (OXLasers Adjustable 5V 650nm Red... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D77QY9MV?tag=atomicindus08-20) and after some careful measurements got...

Later that same week, I took the ‘49 Caddy to the Vette DFW (www.thevettedfw.com). I met Sunny Aguirre, the owner, at the Dallas Autorama where we were both had cars in the Lone Star Corvette Club display. During one of our many conversations over the course of the weekend, he told me of a new...

I’m a bit behind here. We finally got the ‘40 Chev trunk lift arm issue resolved. The solution was to drill all the way through the splined shaft. We used a junk 1/8” drill bit to make sure we had the lifting arm properly oriented on the splined shaft, then did the same with the other side...

I'm with you on that, Mike! Lori wanted to put in a swing set and a basketball hoop. The grands haven't been here enough to come anywhere close to justifying those things cluttering the yard!! I feel vindicated on that decision!

Congrats on the grand daughter! Little girls are the best - she'll have you wrapped around her little finger in no time!

Glad to see more progress on this project - can't wait to see what else you come up with!!

A little late to the party, but the Happy Anniversary wishes are sincere!!

Mike, so sorry to hear of your sister's passing. Close or not, it can't be easy saying goodbye to a sibling. Mine is 16 month younger than me and in great health, so hopefully, we don't have to deal with what you're going through anytime soon. We'll all be around when you get the inspiration...

Wow - you are taking "learning experience" to a whole new level!! Thanks for sharing your journey, although I doubt I have the stones to undertake a project like this!

Congrats on the new project! Looks like you have a lot of fun in your future! Happy BD from another Pisces - finished my 73rd tour last Sunday!

Mike, congrats in advance on your granddaughter. There's nothing like the love of a little girl - ask me how I know!! I'll be looking forward to updates on how easily she wraps you around her little finger!:ROFLMAO: You think that little mini-me is the best thing since sliced bread - just wait!!

Don, your are so gracious to share your terrific property with so many folks! Only wish I lived closer to be able to visit!

I had a similar issue with the roofline being too high on the last addition. The architect solves that by having 2 roof lines - 3/12 for the first section on either side and 8/12 in the middle to match the existing roof slope. I think it turned out great. Pics are in my build thread in my sig...

Looks like quite the TT power plant!! Should be a handful!

Guilty as charged!!🤣

Here are some photos from the Dallas Autorama. One of the cleanest Buick straight eights i have seen. Jim Inglese side draft carbs!!

Cam, the main selling feature was that each platform moves independently. That way, I only have to move one car underneath to get one from the upper level. With the double wide 4-post I have, I have to move 2 cars outside to get one down. I also liked the solid pan surface, so any droppings...

Thanks, Joel - I wasn't expecting 3 days for the install, but we did get through it and all seems to be working as designed. My only recurring problem is that I hit my head on the control pods - just have to get some muscle memory that they are there and avoid them!!:shocking:

The BendPak parking lifts I ordered in late January finally made their way to my installer’s warehouse and we agreed to begin the install on Monday. As my installer has not had much experience with these new lifts, he brought along someone who has installed a number of them. There are a ton of...

Thanks, guys!! Brief update on the ‘40 Chev trunk lifting arms. While at Autorama I talked with a friend’s builder who invited me to send them the lifting arms, which he said they could scan and 3d model and send off to have replicated. On Monday after the Autorama, I reached out to my buddy who...
