did a high temp powder coat on Russ's manifold. Seems to be standing up pretty good.(pic was at AFI on the dyno, so this thing had seen some heat.
no flaky, flaky |

I'm working on my second oven for coating. the first was pretty small like 3' x 1' x 1' and the bigger one is 6' x 3' x 2' so I can do rims and bigger goodies.
The lift I fabricated on my own and havn't got a price figured out but all Hydraulics are from Princess auto so anybody can get em. |

I'm not a sponsor on the board so if I give you a price I'll get my balls chopped I'm sure.
I might consider paying my sponsor dues for 2008 depending on the cost, and the outcome I can produce. I have a web site but it ain't up and running till next week sometime.

didnt really expect it to be home made, quite intuitive. |

my home made stuff is only home cause thats where I do most of it, but no lack of quality here:thumbup:
plus Newaccorddrive you've seen where I work, I pretty much have use of everything that related to fabrication.
Building drilling/service rigs are boring:(

I could easly put another sliding mechanical lock on the open side of the lift, but diddn't seem nessecary. Though if it made people buy them I'd do it.
The other lifts on the market are very similar, I diddn't invent this.
I saw one first hand last year at the GoodGuys show in Spokane and got some info from the guy then threw it on the Solidworks.

Just being helpful and helping you play with in the rules. :D
So if a member decides to pm you about pricing to build a lift, they are more than welcome to. ;) You just can not put the pricing in a thread or mention that you are building them for sale directly.
