Thanks all for the nice compliments! I've been wanting one for awhile now and finally got the garage door redone so that it lifts high enough so I can fit the lift in. I already changed out the oil in the Vette this weekend. Omg so much easier.
Patches.. I wouldn't have it any other way. Bolting it down is much safer and was a piece of cake.

DN69427.. I went with the Bendpak HD-9 220V... my ceiling height is 128" and I had the garage door redone so it lifts to where it's only 4-5" off the ceiling which gives me a good 120" of room.

Cool addition to your garage. I wish I had been farsighted enough to have designed my garage to accommodate a lift when we built our house.

thank you so much for the info - I have been looking at ways to "tray" the ceiling in my garage to give me some extra head room - but happy to know I can still get one to fit.
