SWEEEEEET!!!
 

JW,
What lift/company did you go with?

BTW: looks sweet...............I should have one in my shop in a year......

Very nice

Looks great.

$550 for the install and they provided the hydraulic fluid.  That was probably worth about $20.

 

Awesome, but it looks like that plane is flying mighty close to the Stang!

James, that looks just like mine...  I'm sure you have figured out the ramps are pretty heavy.  A pair of modified RhinoRamps (the plastic ones) will do the job and weigh not much at all.

You are going to wonder how you ever worked all these years building that fastback without the lift!

Its not that big a deal to just push it onto the lift, as long as it can roll.  I have done my Mustang by myself.  I had to enlist my wife to help get the F-100 up there.  Really want to make it easy?  Just call RAMSES !!!!

Now go steal your wife's full length door mirror and mount it up high at the end of the lift so you can see yourself driving onto the lift, perfectly centered every time.

I use two methods to get non running (are there any other kind we work on) cars on my four post lift. One is a 12 volt winch off of my old trailer that runs off of my battery charger. The other is a bracket I put on the front license plate mount on my truck that I have this tube about 8 feet long and a good rope threaded through it that I can loop around an axle or bumper or what ever on the dead car to push it up on the lift with the truck (going forward so I can see what is about to go wrong before it does). Works great and I don't have to wait for help. I use the truck method most since it is easier to find than the winch.

Sams Club's got a 12v winch for about 60 bucks just fab a temp mount and move it to your trailer or whever you need it next and you don't have to buy it beer or dinner!
