Very sweet Joe. I am working on getting a detached 36x40 approved through neighborhood ARB and local zoning madness. I have been researching lifts on this site and elsewhere - thought I was down with Bendpak until I saw yours. These look amazing - how long was the lead-time?

It's not a garage, it's a surgical suite, I'm going to "yo" that light idea for my new Spyder keeper I close on the 21st.

Adequate lighting makes an enormous difference. You can never have too many lights! Although, the imperfections show so up so clearly now. Detailing is going to take more time than it used to...

Adequate lighting is a major plus. Not only does it make it easier to detail but it also makes it easier to work underneath the car.

Oh and detailing is a slippery slope....just like track crack. You get a taste and next thing you know you've gone way beyond what you intended.
