Nice shop!

nice setup
 

The built in lift is legit!

Thanks! I am going to try and move the Firebird into the shop from the attached garage this weekend or the next.

Awesome shop! What did you do for wiring?

Thanks! I had an electrician drop in a 60 amp panel off of the house. I ran 1 20 amp 110 circuit for 6 outlets, one 15 amp for lighting and 2 additional outlets, and 2 220 circuits - 1 for the heater and the other to switch between the lift and compressor. I went with led for lighting.

The Shop is complete for now. Paint is finished and tools are moved in. I got the car pushed in yesterday, so hopefully updates soon. This lift is going to make completing the lower sections of body work so much easier.

thats a pretty cool lift, never seen a set up like that before, how does the cost compare to like a 4 post?

This one costs less than any 4 post that I've seen. I looked at different brands, but I suspect that the same manufacturer in China makes all the ones I was looking at.....so, I got this one from harbor freight. Cost is about $1500, but you can use the 20% or more coupons. I had a 25% off one day only coupon that I used. Add in Freight to the terminal and it came in under $1200 tax and all.

There are obviously some drawbacks to this style of lift compared to a 2 post or 4 post, but I don't have much room and both of those take up too much of it. If I had built a 30X24, I would have looked into a 2 post designed to handle more weight and for transmission access. Still, I would rather have this than nothing at all. This will make working on my projects so much easier.

nice yea thats not a bad deal at all

Ok, I think I'm just about ready to get back to work on the Firebird. With any luck, I can make the time I need to make a real dent in the work I still need to complete. I ordered a DSE sway bar kit for it and have all the pro forged steering components in a box somewhere.

I just finished (well almost) the cover for the lift and completed my airlines this past weekend. We shall see if I can dedicate some time this weekend.

Here are some pics of where the shop is now:
