Yes, and it's Dark Blue Pearl, a perfect match for your MM. :D

The pieces-parts are spread on the garage floor, as we speak. :beer:

[jgc61sr2002]

Mike - Congrats.:D


Wish one would fit in my garage. Oh well.

[martyo]

Is my lift in yet??????

[RCSignals]

No, it hasn't been delivered yet. Maybe you didn't get my address correct?

Photos, please!

[Mike Poore]

First a couple of observations. These pieces parts are heavy, and assembly requires two people. Unloading it from a truck, if you had one drop shipped would require a crane or machine to unload. I could not have done it with my Kuboda's front bucket. Anyway, it's up and waiting for it's first job.

Here's the last of 'em. I got the drip trays, and two acessory shelves for bottle jacks to work on suspension stuff. It would be nice to have an acessory to narrow the tracks to accomodate narrow wheel stuff like the garden tractors, and ATV's so I could work in them. As you can see the Zero Turn mower, just fits, but not safely.

[martyo]

What mods do you have on the mower? :D

[Mike Poore]

Marty, I guess cliff-dwellers don't get to play on these things; but it's a hoot! With just over 2 acres to mow, it's overkill, but I think people would pay me to get the chance to play with the thing. I do the job in just under an hour, and sometimes go back over it in another direction just because it's too much fun to quit. Top speed is 13MPH, ... the neighbors stop to watch.:burn:

[martyo]

Top speed is 13MPH,

:D

By the way, I am sending a cover to you. Put it on that Mustang in the background please.

Gosh! I didn't think anyone would notice it.

You know nothing gets by around here.

Mike:
2 questions.
What is your ceiling height?
And, if I may ask what did they charge you to install?
Thanks.

10 ft ceiling, and, no, I can't lift the truck more than ~4ft, since it's so tall; but cars won't be a problem. I'm sure I can stack both GT-40's

The install was $800, but the $157 delivery charge was included, not to mention getting the damned thing off the truck; as was the 5 year parts warrenty, when they install.

I'm sure there were ways to save a lot of money, ie, different product, self delivery and install, etc; but in this case, it wasn't about the money.

[Haggis]

Congrats Mike, looks nice.

[Bigdogjim]

NIce I am so happy that I got a garage now but, when I see pictures like this I wish mine was bigger:)

Congrats:up:

Off topic:) Tell me a little about the mustang?

Keep it on topic or you'll be reported to a moderator :P

Damn straight, buster, no thread hijacking allowed! Next you'll be wanting to know where I keep the buttermilk dispenser.

The Mustang's a Feb 65 build with GT style camera case gage cluster, but no disc brakes; meaning it was most likely not a GT. It's an "A" engine/4sp, duals, fast steering/heavy sway bars & suspension, standard interior, air conditioning, center console, and a ground up restoration. I need to put the interior back in, install the wiring harness, get a few pieces, like a front bumper and start driving it. The engine's been line bored, has forged pistons, ported heads, and a balanced assembly, with a fairly aggressive grind cam. :D

[GreekGod]

...I test drove one of those mowers once-what a blast! And scarry fast, too.

Both GT-40's? Is that a typo? If not, would you want to trade one for a few hundred acres of Minnesota? :D

:laugh:
I was wondering if anyone was gonna catch that one, John.

The buttermilk dispenser is more likely. :D

[Leadfoot281]

Lol! I was going to respond yesterday when I read that post, but I slid off my computor chair and hit my head. So I had to post today after I regained consciense and changed my underwear. :D

My offer still stands. I'm willing trade land for a Mrk2 or Mrk4 GT-40. The local dealer has an 06 GT in Gulf Oil team colors and wouldn't take me up on my offer though....:(

Geez, John ....offer him more land! Get the damned thing, throw in a couple of shotguns, and head to our house. We'll have a ball! Gordon & Chris live close by, and both of 'em are shooters.

BTW, I took our club's trap championship, today, in all three classifications: 16yd, handicap, and doubles. All in all, a very good day for the old boy. :woohoo:

Saw one the other day in the "Gulf" trim going down Peachtree Industrial towards Doraville(did a triple take), moving pretty good...... As I was coming up before I saw the GT, I also saw the Hemi Magnum Doraville Police Car on the soft shoulder with the radar out.......:eek: Wonder if they met:D

Congrats on the lift Mike!:banana2:
