Thanks! It was hard to stop and organize the garage as I just had bought the dragster to restore, but quickly realized I would be "spinning my wheels without being set-up, very glad I did! ...love being out there... just ask my wife! LOL ...Do you race with Gary Eickman by chance?

Heres an idea for some of you with limited celing height or very low cars.
I got this 48" scizzor lift from Greg Smith Equip. in Delaware.
It's about 5" high,and I recessed it flush with the garage floor so even the lowest tube chassis car will go over it.
Very sturdy and only about $2k

I've seen Tommy's deal up close and its really slick ......only downside I saw was that you better be friends with someone who can do concrete work .

Hey Tom,

What is the lift rated at.

[Sean Marconette]

For the guys that have their own dump station, are you on a septic system, or what did you do? That is on my list for the shop.
Thanks
Sean

my house in MD. was on city water/sewer. i just tied my plumbing in from under the house to where i was parking m/h. then one day the city came out to flush their system, and dug up a clean out in front of the house (near the street) i just started using that one.
my house in DE. is our own sewer system. after garage was up i dug up where sewer lid was and drilled and tied into it with the PVC. re-buried it and ran the line to where i park the m/h. keeping at least a drop in the line was the tricky thing. the final hight was a little more than i would of liked but it still works great!

here is a few pics.
most of the dump pipe is buried. it is about 70' long all together
i also put in a 30 amp RV plug and made a "water tank filler" out of some small PVC.

Ken the lift is rated at 7000 pounds.
Its very well built and the travel speed is good ,not snail speed like some are .
I think I have some info on it ,I'll bring it along to Atco.
