Hi Jethro
That's about the biggest I'll be able to shoe horn under a 2" flare without scraping issues.

Had been a while since I was last on here so I went right back to the start of this thread. WOW what a transformation, story, journey. An unbelievable amount of work has gone into this beautiful vette. Well done on an outstanding job.

Thanks Sting 69, it's been just over ten years now. Once it back on the road then that's going to be it!!!!

Quick question: what do you think of your hoist? Have you had any issues with it? I'm currently looking around at them and cheaper is better :)

Hi Scott,
It's the best 3000 bucks I've spent. I had a problem with the motor not long after I purchased it however the company I got it from replaced the motor, pump and tank assembly. No problems since.
If I was using it for commercial use then I would have spent a lot more money on one. For home use the cheap Chinese hoists work fine.
Most of the jobs I do now are done on the hoist. Even simple jobs like polishing the rims the car can be positioned at waist height instead of on the ground.
