Well, I have the lift posts laid out where I would like to put them. I am trying to save as much space as possible so I can put the other vette in the garage beside the lift. Now as I said in another post my shed that I have now used to be a 12 x 18 shed and I expanded to a 20 x 24 shed. When I did this i added concrete on each side of the original pad in a 3 x 18 section and in the rear a 6 x 20 section. My lift will be going on the original pad that was 12 x 18. Plenty big enough and it leaves 72" on the side to the wall. The vette is only 69" wide so I can have one on the lift as the other one is being stored if needed. In order to do this I am going about 4" narrower on my posts. I took a pics of the lift in place with the arms set under the car,
pic 1this shows both arms under the car. The only concern I have is the position of the front leg. It will be on the frame area that is turning in and up on the car. As you can see I Plan on using a 6" pad on front and 3" pad on rear. This should level the car very close normal.
pic 2 which is a total of 6" front lift and a 3" rear leg
pic 3I have enough spacing between the body and the inside of the post at 10" per side. It allows the doors to open 2/3's of the way which is plenty to get in and out of. I will not be able to work on the interior with doors opened and posts in place but that is the beauty of the lift as the posts are very portable and can be stored when not in use. All this is to save some space to park the second one inside if needed.
Where do you locate the leg pads for your vette? I could move the lift posts back which would allow me to pick up the car further back on the front but I think this should be ok.
What do you guys think?
Thanks
Rodney
