Those in that pic look like to ones on my 74, cant tell without dimensions though.
Good Morning! What's on the plate for today?
I gotta drill more holes in the new quarterpanels and dutchman panel for the vinyl top trim....
Good Morning.
Hey while your grazing on that great looking muffin I have a question.
I'm putting a lift in my new garage first space near the left wall.
How much space from the wall to the far side of the lift does it take?? 15"??
Just trying to plan.
I think I was going 30x40. I might just go 35x40 and add a little storage space for one end, and a man cave on the other end.
I have decided to go wood frame. We have trees in the backyard. They will be trimmed back, and one removed before construction. If a limb falls you can repair a wood frame, not so easy with metal.

I think it's time to cut the grass today. I have 2 large yards to do.
Do you guys cut the grass or mow the lawn? LOL

I am seriously feeling the pain from the 9 month purgatory in paint shop. I am thrashing on Demon in prime weather. Our summers are so short every day is like gold. Irks me I am under dash and the sun is shining. I should be focusing on outdoor junk not the car. Painter put me months behind. So it goes, at least I am making progress. I want to drive it this summer.
Mow the weeds. Lol
My lift bay is 14ft wide, but it is lower than the rest of the shop. My lift posts are 15in off of the wall on both sides. I can pass by easily. But a Fat man might have trouble......No, Im not talking about you Craig.....
I cut the grass. I don't live in those type neighborhoods where they mow the lawn.
Craig Since it is new construction theres a ton of stuff I should have done. Running water, floor drains, translucent panels on the sides, spray foam etc. 220 3 phase is pretty much a must for a decent compressor.
Need enough room to pull an axle out of the diff.My lift bay is 14ft wide, but it is lower than the rest of the shop. My lift posts are 15in off of the wall on both sides. I can pass by easily. But a Fat man might have trouble......No, Im not talking about you Craig.....
Good call.
I gots plenty.....
I brush hog most of my yard...Good Morning
I'm not sure what dimension you are asking about here. My lift's recommendation was minimum 3 feet from "side wall". I went 4 1/2 or so which centered the lift in the bay (shop door) and allowed for the passenger door to be fully open.
Sounds like lift day 3 is brewing in the coffee shop
Shelving space, can never have enough. Good deals through the govt auctions.
I was the same way the last couple years working on my cars. Everything else feel to the side with a "I'll do it later" Well now with the stay at home I'm all caught up. Example yesterday I spent eight hours standing on a ladder, with a bucket of water and steel wool cleaning the vinyl trim on the storm windows, removing paint, dirt, and old adhesive tape crud.
