Before using the product, please ensure that the upper microswitch stop is functioning properly.
Yeah, it’s pretty nice set up

Yup. I still have to wire in the 220v and the top push bar switch. I got the electrical schemtics downloaded so it shouldn't be too hard to finish up possibly this weekend although I have some pedestals I need to test build for the daughters wedding and try out my paint setup before I leave for CT next week.
I have waited/saved for a long time to get this as it has always been at the top of my list of things I would like to have. Wife provided the seed money as an anniversary gift and I added to it over the last couple of years to finally make this happen. Also talked myself into it as I can also get some accoutrements that will allow me to also lift the motorcycle, zero turn and golf cart. Still looking to see if it might be cheaper to build something( I have access to a structural welder person -> future son-in-law) or buy it.

Now I have no excuses to start on Project Restore 1970 Challenger. Which I will be posting here eventually and possibly on YouTube as it has waited long enough.

Very nice. Yes, Rotary is a great lift with good support, if needed.
Are those 12 foot columns?

yup they are 12ft. One thing is I didn't think about side to side clearance for working on the car/suv. I really should have done 15 or 16ft for the overhang but live and learn I will make what I have work.

This jumped at me ^^
Meet Metheny. She's the latest addition to the family. I'll be giving her some care and restoration and pushing her limits offroad. Planning to take her to Carnegie on 9/4 to run through the 4x4 exercise area- if you're around come say hi. Today we're celebrating victory over the CA DMV because we successfully submitted her bonded title paperwork and got plates- that's the face you make when you shout "VICTORY!"

I pulled this poorly kept former Italian supermodel out of the crack house.

I've already got her down from 4 packs a day to two with a new exhaust. Next up will be to redo injectors and fuel pump to minimize it. I hate the coal roll vibe- first thing I did was rip off the 8" exhaust she had on and put a decent (but good sounding) muffler on her.
Such sexy. Nice find!

I have such a soft spot for them. I’m sure you’ll turn Methany into a beauty.

Is the future goal to keep that "none of the panels are the same color" theme going, perhaps in even more vibrant shades than gray?

Had my Schwinn Super Sport converted to a flat bar setup with new handlebar, brake levers, 3 piece crankset, new rear hub and wheel and modern derailleur
Bought the bike in 1969 with money from mowing lawns and baby sitting.
I think it came out pretty nicely albeit a new bike would have been cheaper, lighter and faster.
.
Narrow bars will take some getting used to.
Rides solid as a rock as it should at 31.4lbs!
But that is almost 2lbs lighter than it was before.
Feels pretty slow; haven't put the speedometer back on yet so we will see.
7 speed with Shimano derailleur shifts very smoothly compared to the old Sturmey Archer.

Funny, matte black is in her future I think, if I can shake the idea of having the body panels all powdercoated galaxy purple.
What I'm aiming for- more matte black, and no power wagon motif, but grabber orange hockey stick. And if I can find one of those Ram hood ornaments...

You know I was just thinking when I repaint the challenger I think it would be sick in matte dark gray. But I have the same affliction and think plum crazy is also a valid choice.
I think that we live in a world where being your unabashed full self is not just allowed but celebrated, and that if you want a purple car, you should have a purple car.
*wrestles with the memories of KITT, B.A. Baracus' van, and Airwolf all being black and not a beautiful, deep purple*

oh I wonder if they make a matte version of plum crazy although that would mean I would have to be super anal about the bodywork and the last time I did paint perp it wasn't as great as it could have been and that was just with black paint. would also need to do a frame off paint job hmm decisions decisions.
