    2014 Corvette C7

    In profile, she's a stunner, OK from the front, ugh from the back. Interior is, well, different. Finally a couple of (so, so) options for the seat. Why they can't put a seat in these things with a proper lower bolster is beyond me. My Z06 isn't in any immediate danger of being replaced...

    With respect, I think you are in the minority Freddy.

    What ramps work for the GT with the HD9 Bendpak

    Ha! I figured you fellas would like them. Busted out my severe carpentry skills.

    What ramps work for the GT with the HD9 Bendpak

    This ^ The RaceRamps RR-Rack4 helpers lift the end of the stock HD-9 steel ramps 3". On my HD-9's, I was concerned that was too high, meaning it would hyper-extend the inboard side of the ramp. You can simply replace the OE ramps with RaceRamps full setup, but then you are storing them...

    Interesting GT500

    It reminds me of Mercedes Black Series - just not done as well (the sill integration in particular). Meh.

    Ford GT In The Media

    Nice to see the GT being so well regarded there (in spite of Clarkson's early whining). That Quicksilver sure is pretty.

    Bendpak RJ-45 Bridge Jacks - thanks Santa.

    Good reminder. I used my Z06 as the test car with the bridge jacks at opposite ends.. I just barely nicked the rear jack so I wised up and pushed it forward before driving the GT on. The round pads are drop in. Once removed, the extensions slide most of the way back in. You can see them...

    Bendpak RJ-45 Bridge Jacks - thanks Santa.

    You're very welcome. They look like foot pedals but are hand actuated. Lift one side, release on the other. There is a manual safety that must be cleared before the bridge will lower. Pretty slick.

    Rotary or Bendpak?

    Ah, I see what you did there. I thought to replace the whole ramp. On my lifts, I don't think I could use their 'pre-ramps' at 3" step height. My ghetto ramps are 1.5" and that's about all the higher mine will allow.

    Rotary or Bendpak?

    I like the Race Ramps. Better than my ghetto wood pre-ramps :) Their prices make me want to start a competing business. Their margins must be huge. Did you buy the version with the 3" drop-in lip? http://www.raceramps.com/hook-nosed-rack-ramp-20x5.aspx

    Bendpak RJ-45 Bridge Jacks - thanks Santa.

    Not yet, but I will. It looks like a great add-on. Any pics? Anytime Jason.

    Bendpak RJ-45 Bridge Jacks - thanks Santa.

    I've had my Bendpak HD-9XW four post lift for awhile now, but hadn't installed any bridge jack or jacking tray setup to allow me to get the wheels off my car/truck while on the lift. I was swapping winter wheels/tires recently on my wife's car - one at a time - using my trusty floor jack and...

    Rotary or Bendpak?

    This little bad boy does just fine for the lift air locks - needs maybe 40psi to unlock. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-3-gallon-horizontal-air-compressor-with-hose/p-00915310000P?prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 Yes, the standard ramps. See pic below - I made pre-ramps a while back for low...
