Got some workspace...

Little "spring cleaning"...

You do some sexy work, John.

Thanks and LOL.

I was going to raise the post, but then realized I would have to do something about the cable cover on the floor. The Clear floor lift would have been better with the uneven floor since it's kind of a pain maneuvering a non-running car over the cable cover - specially when working alone, raising the cover would only make it worse.

Hopefully this shop will be outgrown anyways

Besides, it doesn't stop progress ...

I see you still haven't leveled that lift. I also see some nice looking headers.

Hmnm, I almost forgot about this thread.

Here's recent pics...














The desk was just put in there late last night and plan on turning it into a welding station bu adding some sheet metal and a vice to it. Been welding standing up at the stainless cart, but that's a little tough to do with the TIG foot pedal.

In seeing 3400-modified's update to his thread. I figured I'd toss up some pics of the garage. I'm still not done, need lights and paint. But that may wait until spring.

I was going to suggest 1/2" plate... lol.

[ForcedFirebird]

They weren't adjusted

That and the shop floor is lower on the right in that pic. The left post actually leans about 1/16" per 4' towards the wall and the other post leans the same the opposite way (they lean away from each-ohter). The floor is actually almost 1/2 lower on the right, so it took some tweaking to get it to sit proper today. It will still look a little crooked when both sides are sitting on a lock, but with 6 bolts 5/8' diameter, 6"in the concrete, it's not going anywhere

If i had checked better, there would have been a 1/2" plate under the right post, but let's see how long we are at this location...

I would imagine a nice building like that would have some nice thick floors since they would figure some people would bring in CNC and other heavy machines in. Also knowing John the way I do, I don't think he would chance it if the floor was thin.

[robertisaar]

I take it you checked to make sure that floor will support those posts?

i hope so....

when me and my dad did the floor for his, we made sure there was at LEAST 6-8" of cement for it. its held up for about 16 months now, with his Javelin on it for at least a month at a time.

I like it, but it almost looks as if the post on the left is leaning towards the car some, and it doesn't seem to be lifting the car evenly. I could be wrong though. Now that I think about it the lifting thing, does it have adjustable pads on the end? That could be why the passenger side of the car looks higher to me- they might not be adjusted evenly.

nice addition.
so when are you going to bring that by my house, got the perfect spot for it.

Final piece in the puzzle!
