Seems like the lift will probably be able to work for my application. I guess in a worst case scenario if both cars wouldn't fit I wouldn't be loosing any parking but would gain a lift to make working on them a little easier. Now I have to start investigating what my best company would be. I...

Yes the one I have my eye on is a 70 not restored in mint condition. All original paint and everything else. They are slick, especially the back end. I am set on a 70, the apex of American cars that year is. 500 CID and 550 foot pounds of torque, before the government got involved in telling the...

I measured the ceiling height at the deepest area of the garage at 129". That would be the shortest amount of room I would have. The garage floor pitches toward the door end but I didn't bother to measure at the door end as that measurement point is probably irrelevant. As I've said I've never...

Thanks Thank You, the hood on the Z24 is probably worth as much as my car lol Thanks, love the 65's. I was looking for one but mine came up first. I bought mine in 1985 from the original owner I wouldn't mess with the structural integrity of my house for a lift. Either it will work as is or it...

Thanks. The garage is a little over 4 years old.

I would also need to figure out how to wire up some kind of fail safe, a switch or something that would trip at a certain height to kill power. Something that would prevent me from lifting the car into the ceiling if I were somehow distracted or misjudged something. I'm also wondering about...

This obviously isn't completed but this is what's under (or technically over) the drywall. Even if I could I doubt I want to mess with it.

I think the door will be something I can overcome one way or the other. I would put the lift as deep into the garage as I could and both cars have pretty long hoods. I would probably have to back the top one on the lift. If I couldn't avoid it I would just stop the door from fully opening. I...

I can't do anything as far as raising the ceiling, there is a bonus room over the garage. It's encouraging to hear what I'd like to do has been done. The thing is I'm trying to put 2 tanks in the same footprint, they're both BIG. If they were Corvettes or some little sports car I wouldn't be...

I only see the word political, or any mention of politics in one post, and it's not mine. Sorry I won't play. I don't smarta$$ anyone. Thanks to all that replied to my questions.

Help what? What would that help with? Do you think a different username would elicit more input?

If you were closer lol

Yes, that's what makes me uncomfortable...it's a craps shoot. It would be nice to have a 12 foot ceiling like you're supposed to have but I'm stuck with what I have. I'm in an HOA so there is no extending or building a separate garage. I don't mind having one on top of the other as they aren't...

Hi all. Please bear with me as I know this topic has been discussed on this forum before. I have probably read most of the threads but every situation is different and I am hoping to get some input given my specifics I have a pretty large 2 car garage which now houses a 1967 Impala SS 427 and a...

I am interested in suggestions for what to use to seal the seams on a new blast cabinet. I have found it stated that using silicone can eventually cause microscopic contamination of the media which can cause items you plan on painting to have fish-eyes. Is there an easily attainable alternative...

The compressor is a Northstar model 47500. The manual is readily available online with a Google search. It will wind up being hardwired....it was just frustrating me trying to reconcile the 6-30R in the manual specs with what I was reading relating to motor HP and receptacles. No matter how many...

Yup, the longer the discussion the more ideas and answers I get. Sometimes it's pretty entertaining too.

Thanks for the replies. So just for arguments sake if the 6-30R were used with a separate disconnect that receptacle would be permitted? I am trying to figure out just when that 6-30R that is mentioned in the compressor literature would be code compliant. I know that isn't the optimum way to...

The 3.0 HP is taken from the label on the motor itself. I have been trying to figure this out for a few days now and I just can't seem to find an exact answer to this question. It frustrated me enough to join the forum and ask the question. At this point I really want to understand how some say...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I have been reading through it and have found it is a great place for info. I have been looking through threads on air compressor wiring and can't seem to understand a few things First, I have very limited electrical experience which is probably why I am having...
