My rationale is that it seems you would wind up with flat spots in your tires. I agree with others that storing from the frame is no good for the suspension. It seems the best option would be something that supported the car the same way it would be supported on the ground. Edit: Whoops...

Progress Garage - Toolbox Top I have been using this piece of hardboard that came in the box for my toolbox as a top - not as a work surface, but more of a temporary holding spot for tools and things while I am working. I am planning on finishing off the box with the upper chest, but I don't...

You know, it's funny you say this, I have a few friends that I would love to be turned loose in their shops/garages :D But seriously, thanks for the kind words, I still feel like I have a long way to go!

Thanks Kyle! I added a pic of the filter mounted to the wall up in Post #6. I still need to add some fittings to finish up the plumbing. I will probably put a 90* on the outlet to point the quick release away from the wall, and replace those brass clunkers with some Legacy fittings. Like...

Much better on the tire rack. Good move.:thumbup:

I give a thumbs up to Benjamin Moore Aura. On the expensive side, but man does it do the job (for a DIY'er). I did our front doors in Hale Navy. The original (builder's) paint alligatored pretty badly from lots of sun exposure. Seemed the best course of action was to totally strip them...

I could be wrong, but it seems like these might not be a great idea for long term storage? (Based off "Parking lift" in the title). Forgive me if I overstep my boundaries.

Thanks Mike!

Progress Garage - Brakes While I was working on restoring the Wilton, I took the time to clean up the front brakes on the truck. Years ago I painted the calipers red and it was, admitedly, a pretty hack job. I also installed Hawk's Super Duty Brake pads. at that time. The dust these pads...

Progress Garage - Air Line Filter Bracket I picked up an in-line air filter from Ingersoll-Rand's ARO lineup. The thing is way more compact than I was expecting! I wanted to mount it to the wall with some quick release couplings so I can disconnect my compressor and wheel elsewhere if needed...

Could I get a little help with approval? I may have posted twice since I didn't see the moderator review message at first? Link to thread? http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=187531 Thanks for all you guys do!

Progress Garage - Wilton Vise (cont'd) The hardware came out rust free but still needed a little love. I started with the vise bodies by masking off the area of the slide that was getting paint. IMG_0458 by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr So I set about gently (as I could) coaxing the shine back...

Progress Garage - Wilton Vise Wilton 4" Utility Vise. I know it's their lower end vise, but since it has sentimental value to me, I wanted to bring it back to it's former glory and put it back into service. I couldn't think of a better way he would want it used. IMG_0424 by Alan.Marchman...

Progress Garage - Some Cool Old Stuff from PawPaw Around Christmas time, the wife and I (as usual) head North (to us) to visit the grandparents and extended family. Now my PawPaw was a man I always looked up to. Hard working but always warm and caring. He had a shop (mostly wood working and...

Progress Garage - Adirondack Chairs and Some Scraps So about a year ago, I decided the back patio needed a place to take a load off while grilling, etc. so I picked up some cedar boards and got to work on some simple Adirondack chairs. IMG_2034 by Alan.Marchman, on Flickr img_2044 by...

So I have been a long time lurker here and thought I would start a thread as a place to, more than anything really, archive my garage endeavors. This is not a "garage build" thread or a thread dedicated to any particular project, just a place to post what I've been up to - however random and...
