Hey Guys...
Got the V8 Conversion car back a couple weeks ago... now I got a new to me Mid Rise Lift... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Like this one: http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogI...LFBK_0117926436 So here is the question... Since our cars are so low, do I first need to roll it up on some 2X10s to add ground clearance? I know its a dumb question, but I don't have the lift until Monday. So, if I need some "ramps" so I can use it right away; I can get them beforehand.... Thanks for your help in advance... Steve |

How long were the main boards you used?
How wide? That was just what I was looking for, I have a highly modified V8 car that at its lowest point is about 3.5 inches of ground clearance....Maybe slightly less... So I need to build this before I do anything... Thanks again... Steve |
