    That car is WAY too low to clear the lift frame.

    You may want to get a steel plated sheared to lay under the the little wheels in the back. They will pulverize the concrete and then you'll have a pair of ruts. I don't have 1st hand experience, but a friend has one and his is on a plate.

    Good idea. It just so happens I have a chunk of 1/8" I use as a welding table on one of those Stanley Work-Mate tables...

    I'm starting to see the advantages now. How heavy is it? Maybe I could use one outside in the driveway if I have too much going on in the garage.

    Half a ton. I used my loader with pallet forks to get it in the garage. It’s “portable “ in a very limited sense.

  10. So not something you could hook a handle to to move it around in your shop?

    Could make the godawful job of underdash wiring a lot easier, or at least the getting down on the floor of the car and back up / out again!
