Those car lifts in the pic, what brand / model are they? They look good for someone that doesn't have the head height for a traditional 2 post lift. Do you know how deep the hole in the ground has to be to install them?

Keep up the great work!

Thank you.

The lifts are made by Rotary. They go about 10' into the ground and go up a little higher than normal above ground lifts. They are also a lot more expensive than normal above ground lifts, somewhere in the $7-8k range. I work for a Cadillac dealer and they let me work on the car here, other wise I'd be on jack stands just like everyone else.

I think it is an amazing build and love your skills. I do have one thing that I'm having trouble with and it's the rear bumper. I think it looks too big for the lines of the car but that's just me, and it might grow on me, sorry not trying to dis your ride at all, it's fantastic!!

It's just the way it looks in pictures. In person it's smaller. Also once it's pained black and the body is blue I think it will blend more and seem more integrated. This isn't a great angle, but its a little farther back.

I agree that being black will make a big difference in the look. Is the receiver hitch tube for strapping the car down or? Also, what cost will you have using that wiring system, I was looking into it but I thought it was about 4 times the cost of others out there?? And do you like it?

It's to pull a trailer with. One of those small trailers that a set of 4 slicks can fit on for track days and autocross.

I think I have somewhere around $3k in the InfinityBox set up. Yes it cost a lot more than other systems, but I liked what I could do with it such as the load limit shut off of the inMotion control and the iPad integration. Its pretty much endless possibilities to what you can control with it.

The trailer is what I thought, good idea....
