Default Tight Squeeeeze....

Got the caddy and the lex and the cub in one side of the garage hahaha.

I'm putting the SC up for the winter.

There's 1/2" clearance on the SC roof to ceiling.

3/4" on the rocker of the SC to the lift.

And 1/2" on the Caddy to the lift.

Tight squeeze and hey I don't have to worry about flat spotting the tires!! lol!

Measured and knew it could be done. But due to where the safety catches are on the lift, I soon found out I'd need to get the car much lower.

Pulled a Check-Banjo and removed the wheels to get as much room as I could as quickly as possible.

Tightened the lugs onto the rotors to keep them where they need to be and lowered them onto 3/4" oak strips.

I kept asking myself, "Am I weird?" "Do normal people do this?"

Yeah I'm going to back to Cali, I just got hired by 9xmedia as a designer/programmer/machinist, so duty calls.

Whenever I get back here in the spring to pick up the car, I'll definitely hit you up, Omar. After 4 months of steady work on this car, I finish it today @ ~6pm, only get to drive it 10 mins across town from the shop to home, and put it on a lift until further notice. I'm leaving for the airport in 45mins, my flight leaves at 6am.

I hit my deadlines as close as I get my cars in the garage. I finish my car and 12 hours later I'm leaving.

Look how close the antenna is on the caddy!!!
