Now is a good time to invest in some good safety stands that go under the car when it is on the lift. TRUST ME...they are worth their weight in gold.

or whatever weight rated design you prefer.

Yeah, I've been working in a 10'x20' storage unit.
Just bought a house with a 4 car garage. Perhaps now I can get some real work done on the '71scgc.

Don't get testy old feller, I have a single car garage and a lean to. It will be a few years till I can afford my 40 x 40 shop. Even then I'll have to borrow your friends.
