Re: [Chevelle-list] new lift

2009-05-17 Thread Larry Williams 
It was shipped to a truck depot in Stockton CA - about 30 miles from my 
home.  I picked it up with a trailer.  The assembly was easy but the 
parts are heavy, especially the two ramps.  I used my overhead lift to 
move the heavy pieces into position.   It was done in an afternoon.

is on the lift and you are setting the locks - it tends, if I'm not 
paying attention, to not catch all the 4 locks, but if you are 
watching it works fine.  The key is to make the sure the cables are 
adjusted properly.  I love it - worth every penny.  With shipping I 
paid something like $2100.
