Yeah,I do think it would be a good addition to my shop having a E-Wheel.I'm thinking after the first of the yr,I'm going to visit Dutch Comstock a master medal worker to try out his E-Wheel and get some tips from him.He is about 2 1/2 hrs away,but he has extended a open invite.One of the corner stone members of Allmetalshaping web site.
Hidden costs???? well, over the years I got lots of stuff to do engine work because couldn't get it done right, on time------
But, one of the biggest tools I got, was a Hunter Aliignment rack set up which I used form frame fab work where I could check out all the suspension travel and specs as I built things------------
Posted this once before.Been tire kicking on a used two poster lift shopping on Craigslist.Pricing ranging from $500 to $2500.Got the landlord to agree to allow me to install it.Well really I would get a company that does installs to put it in.No way I would do that.I want to be sure it has the proper base for safety reasons.Been told it has to have a minimum of a 6" concrete base and I'm not sure how thick the floor is in the shop.They might have to cut the floor,jack hammer it out and pour a re-bar'ed(sp?) base by where the base of the two posts would be.
I think with a lift,it would be a positive game changer in that shop of the kind of jobs I would be willing to take on.
''cut the floor,jack hammer it out and pour a re-bar'ed'' ............. count on it.
4 post lift dosen't require all that expence and is just as versital as a 2 post...I have owned and used both. It realy depends on how you work.
Guess it is personal preference.From my way if thinking a two post lift gives you more access.Quote:

I still have some contacts from when I worked construction.The cut and jack hammer part I might be able to call in some favors.But I would want the lift installer to do the rest.
One thing is certain.I am like everyone else.A hot rodder when he sets his mind on something he wants,finds someway to come up with the money.
