I'm not asking, I'm offering. I'm almost done assembling this one, (one more to go) & one thing for sure, it's FRIGGEN' HEAVY!! :eekbig:
I could have paid an additional $175 each to have them installed, but a few reasons I decided to do it myself were:
1) I saved some money.
2) More importantly than the money, is if I know exactly how it goes together & it breaks, troubleshooting it will be much easier.
3) I like to do things myself as much as possible, & putting this together is more exciting than wet sanding.
My advice though, is don't even consider doing it without an overhead hoist or at least 3 or 4 other people to help. Most of my friends are not nearby, & any family members are all out of state. (I'd rather they stay away anyway.) The overhead chain hoist worked out great, & I don't think a floor standing cherry picker would get adequate height to lift it.
All that's left on this one is to install the air lines & the casters, tighten up some misc. items & plug it in. It's a Bend Pak, HD-9 with a 9000 pound rating. I ordered the drip pans for both & one set of casters, but held off on the jacking tray. I figure for the amount of times I need to get the wheels up in the air I can do it from the floor, or place the stands on the runways.
Here's the place I bought them from, & they discounted each one $100 because I bought 2 of them.
http://www.e-autolifts.com/index.html Shipping is included with the price, & that alone was over $500 from another lift company. They can deliver to your home, but since there is limited access to my house for a truck, I decided to pick them up at the local Yellow Freight terminal.
This has been the main reason I haven't been able to finish test fitting the '71 Barracuda grille & trim. Maybe in a week or so I'll be back onto that project & post some pics of it.
