Re: Four post drive-on lift

I am now curious. I have a 9.5' garage ceiling. If you lift a fordor, how much real space is underneath? Could a 1966 Mustang fit under it?

Re: Why do you like your car.

The first car I drove that did not belong to my parents was a Model A pick-up. While looking for a pick-up to restore I found a Deluxe Delivery. As they say --- Love at First Sight.
