Some new updates, picked up a forward 2 post lift im mid way through refurbing it, cleaned up any rusty areas and hit with rustoleum reformer rust coating. Then will finish with ppg alk200 like the mill n pallet racking.

First got it home took 5 guys to lift it into my pickup, forklift made it eadier to remove though.

Nice setup, nice toys, and I love the concept of all these garage together. I would love to share a property with other car guys like that, we sadly don't have it in germany..

First coat on the lift goes down, took about 30oz to cover 3 sides of the columns, carriages, and top hats.
Used my left over satin black alk200 from the pallet racking.

Spent this week putting up some killer new lights. James Industry 225watt 30klumens x 6 10volt dimmable and running on 240v.

Hats off to guys who work overhead for a living. I am still feeling the lactic acid in my shoulders
