Default Backyard Buddy build

I would like to thank Rex Ruby, FAgent & 98Indypacer for helping me put together my Backyard Buddy today. Everything went smooth, it is definitly a 3 to 4 man project because of the weight of the ramps. We had it built in 4 hrs. Thanks guys. :cheers: :cheers:

Rex - getting a lift for your garage? You must have car number 3 on your radar screen, now that you have that fancy big city job! I'd like to get some specs on that lift, if you could point me to a web site or something. Curious how much vertical clearance you need - my garage is not as tall as yours!

Mine was delivered to my shop last week. Hopefully I will be installing it in about 2 weeks once I 'm done spakling,sanding,primering, and painting the garage.

:lol: #3 is a ways out there. I want it for repair reasons and I'd probably park the Monte or the truck in the garage if I had a lift! If I remember from the web site you need the height of each car + 10" :cheers:

Just make sure you have at least 2 other guys to help with the muscle part :cheers:
