    SHOW OFF YOUR VINTAGE FRIDGE!! post pictures, details and improvements made

    I LOVE my 1952 Coca cola cooler from Westinghouse model WD-12. Still operating on original refrigeration unit. The lid is from a later model WD-12. I prefer the stainless top over the painted top. The paint job is new. Everything else is over 60 years old. And ICE COLD means just that. She...

    Advantage Lifts 9000 XLT extra parts, where do they go?

    Snip is correct. They go on the end of the track to keep the jack tray from rolling off the end of the track. He is also correct on what to do with the $10 bill.

    So I hate to discuss this...

    Spend up if you can and get the advantage lift. Customer service is first rate and so is the lift. Well built, sleeved post connections, dual safety locks and sturdy. Nothing moves! I'll let the full size cars do the rest of the talking.

    Vertical rise garage doors

    There is no reason why you can't do a vertical lift with lift master 8500. Heck you dont even need that. Set the torsion springs right and the door will lift and close as expected manually.

    Hydraulic jack and jack stand dents Racedeck

    One thing i didnt like when i had a racedeck floor was the floor jack wouldn't roll forward as the jack lifted the car up. This is not a healthy situation. As far as the jack stands you can weld large washers to the feet of the stands to avoid damaging the floor. For me, racedeck was one and...

    4 Post lift...Again

    I just got the Advantage lift a month ago and love it. It's really high quality and well built. It now comes with built in wheel blocks and a additional tension safety lock for the cables. Get the manual bridge jack. That has been redesigned too. I have nothing but big heavy cars. The lift...

    Rock Solid- Don't Buy this ****

    Believe everything you are reading when you research this stuff. My garage is 625 sq ft. Ended up buying FOUR KITS to get a decent finish. I first bought 2 kits thinking it would be enough. It looked good when first applied. As it dried, 50% sucked into the concrete leaving an uneven finish of...

    Almost done with my hi track conversion on the garage doors. Only thing left is the torsion spring conversion. Just waiting on some parts. Also carried the paint job onto the inside of the garage doors. Came out nice if I do say so myself. Some before and after pics....

    Racedeck Install- Tan & Graphite

    Yes, on the right side of the garage there is a water hose. I wanted to make sure that the water would drain properly. Then I figured I might as well to the front row near the doors as well, just in case it should get wet from rain/snow. It insures I wont break my *** if the floor is wet :bounce:

    When deciding on my tile colors, there was very few examples of tan tile installs. I was a bit nervous with going tan but that feeling was replaced with 100% satisfaction once the work was complete. Here's a before and after.
