Title: car lift
Post by: 421Altered on May 15, 2018, 09:45:32 PM
What do you guys use to get your car up off the shop floor so that you can work on it easier?  I've got a 4 post lift that I use and it works pretty well, but, since my altered is pretty narrow sometimes it's a pain to lean far enough in to work on the car on account of the ramps.  However it's great for work under the car as there are no cross bars in the way.  Does any company make a lift designed for narrow cars?

I think it's Mohawk that has a four post that the rails are adjustable. It's on my dream list for the new shop but unfortunately it's out of my budget. Since that one's out I'm trying to decide if I want a 2 or 4 post lift.

I just use my warm up stands for at the track.  I have used my 2-post to pull the pan but typically we have a project on it so not worth the effort

I made some stands from left over square tubing for the front and back that are on wheels so I can move the car around as needed and plenty strong enough to do all necessary maintenance and even fire the car up.
