<VV> LIFTING

[N2VZD at aol.com]

for lifting cars in my present shop , i use an air powered bumper lift. it  
lifts way high enough to remove power trains and gives me full room to work 
 under the car. it will even lift from the side. i can have a vehicle up on 
4  jack stands in a hurry , without bending down to set pads etc.   or  
just put one end up in a jiffy. i found a used one that is very old , but works 
 great, cheap. i was just about to spend @$600 for a new one when it came 
along.  i had a smaller hoist , but it got in my way. maybe one of those side 
lifters ,  but that takes room on the side , and gets in the way when doing 
body work. 2  posters are a pain , setting pads , opening doors on the car 
while up in the air  etc etc. if you do not get the (mainly FC's) vehicle 
set up just right , things  can get out of balance quickly    when you take 
the  powertrain out...
i think you can see a lot my shop areas (including the jack , and the dirty 
 floor )  in pictures on the _www.cnycorvair.com_

just my 2 centas
