Thanks! It was hard to stop and organize the garage as I just had bought the dragster to restore, but quickly realized I would be "spinning my wheels without being set-up, very glad I did! ...love being out there... just ask my wife!:eek: LOL ...Do you race with Gary Eickman by chance?

Heres an idea for some of you with limited celing height or very low cars.
I got this 48" scizzor lift from Greg Smith Equip. in Delaware.
It's about 5" high,and I recessed it flush with the garage floor so even the lowest tube chassis car will go over it.
Very sturdy and only about $2k

I've seen Tommy's deal up close and its really slick ......only downside I saw was that you better be friends with someone who can do concrete work .

Re: Shop, need suggestions
 

Hey Tom,

What is the lift rated at.

Re: Shop, need suggestions
 

For the guys that have their own dump station, are you on a septic system, or what did you do? That is on my list for the shop.
Thanks
Sean

Re: Shop, need suggestions
 

my house in MD. was on city water/sewer. i just tied my plumbing in from under the house to where i was parking m/h. then one day the city came out to flush their system, and dug up a clean out in front of the house (near the street) i just started using that one.
my house in DE. is our own sewer system. after garage was up i dug up where sewer lid was and drilled and tied into it with the PVC. re-buried it and ran the line to where i park the m/h. keeping at least a drop in the line was the tricky thing. the final hight was a little more than i would of liked but it still works great!

here is a few pics.
most of the dump pipe is buried. it is about 70' long all together
i also put in a 30 amp RV plug and made a "water tank filler" out of some small PVC.

Re: Shop, need suggestions
 

Ken the lift is rated at 7000 pounds.
Its very well built and the travel speed is good ,not snail speed like some are .
I think I have some info on it ,I'll bring it along to Atco.
