Finally bought a lift. Went with the Direct Lift 2-post Pro 10, 10,000lb lift. Had them install it as well. Just need to run the electrical, and I'll be good to go.

I had a 9000 lift installed last month.
Cant go wrong with your own lift. Very Happy

Nice! Original plan was a 4-post, but you can do so much more with a 2-post. Got a good deal up at SEMA a couple weeks ago.

No room under a 4 post.
Mine was 2200 installed. Than i did the electrical.

I'm just over 1200 square feet with 3 cars inside and it does start closing in after awhile. I got to look at most of the pics here and your a very lucky man, the shop space, height and hoist are awesome !
One of my favorite cars is the 65 Impala with maybe leaning to the pro street look, if I could get a good deal on one I'd cave in for sure, I like the bigger cars you just have to add HP & torque to get them motivated
Had a 67 camaro just wasn't me, later had a chance and got a good deal on a 89 rs convertible for Barb and it's close to being a very clean driver again but UGH !, thinking it's got to go as well, shes got her pink 59 cad. if shes looking for cool.

Thanks for all the really cool pics, can't tell you how jealous I am, Charlie out of B-Town happy bowtie

Just keep your cables adjusted and dont bypass the safety locks...or this might happen.

that pic scared the whoa nelly out of me I thought it was the 73 lol

by 74Malibu383 Mon Nov 19, 2012 12:48 pm

That is a terrible photo! Seriously scary!

Wired it all up including adding an 110v outlet to the side of the lift. Should eliminate tripping on any cords. Or at least I hope it will.
