PLEASE POST MORE PICTURES! That is brilliant! I want to see dimensions and measurements. How much did the project cost? How did you drive up? More info!!!!

hicswa

Thank you! I also made ramps to drive up and made them so I could disconnect them after to give me better access to get under. I will take more pictures tomorrow and post.

allyou need now is a beer cooler and a TV and you can stay down there all night.

Yup. Nice work on the stands. Nice addition to your tools and well thought out.

alconk

Yes please post more pics.

Thats EXACTLY what I need to work under the 'vette! , please post more pics and more info., with some dimension, please!

Excellent workmanship!

Very nice and well thought out. Sure does beat the price of a lift.

Danny, that looks great. When you post more pictures, list the specs too. Not only the dimensions, but also what is inside those boxes besides power. Curious to know what type of support and bracing technique you used to ensure 3K lbs+ won't collapse. My father in law is having a lift installed next week, but this would be great to have for my garage.

Very good and great idea for the plug and lights.

Hi, there are 2x12 under each wheel and then 16" on center. Look at the side and you will see a line of screws. That's were each support is position If you look at the front, middle, and the back I have 3/8 threaded rod going right thru both sides and a nut and large washer on both sides to keep it together. They are counter bored into the wood so nothing gets caught on them. Yes they are heavy that’s why I have handles on the front and back. I have no problem moving them that way.

Brilliant! My only problem is that my garage is already tight on space and I have no where to store them when not in use. Granted, with 2 C3s, I'm sure one of them would be up there all the time.
Subscribing to this in the event I decide to do it.

Nice work!

Built a similar set based on another thread that had gone around. The difference being the directions I followed has the removal bridge between the wheels for better access under the car especially in a small garage.

Looks like excellent work!

No disrespect to the OP, but how do you calculate the strength of various types of wood, the connecting components etc, and their ability to safely support 3500 pounds of vehicle?

It certainly looks sturdy- but what's the engineering behind it to insure safety?

The OP may well have taken all this into consideration, but I didn't see it asked in the subsequent posts . . .
