That will work nicely for working under and around your projects! Beautiful looking workshop! Thanks so much for taking the time it takes to make these videos for us! I like the name you came up for your channel! I'm always dropping wrenches and they have that exact same sound!
The reason some of those type lifts are turned at a 45 degree is so you can pull forward further and still open your door. Hot glue some carpet padding to lift where the doors could hit. I learned that the hard way. And yes the short arms are the engine weight side of lift.
This should make things easier, get some of those screw jacks to balance the car too, so if you remove a differential or something similar the car doesn't become heavier on one side and tip off the lift.
The lift pads are on threaded posts so you can raise and lower them to level the car. I was able to adjust them so all 4 pads contacted to car at the same level. Is that what you mean?
He's talking about tall Jack stands for the front and rear of the car to keep the car from falling if it becomes dangerously imbalanced due to removing heavy components while on the lift.
Did you install your lift where the branding facing the back and not you when you drive in, just so you could have the power on the opposite side? And just put the arms as if was reversed? Any issue with that?
My understanding is that the short arms are intended to support the front of the car, or at least the front of a conventional car with the engine in the front, and therefore the heaviest part toward the front. So this lift was oriented so that a front-engined car would be driven forward into position from the garage door opening. The Corvair should probably be backed into position, given that the heavy end is in the rear of the car. The engine is out of the car now, so I loaded it like a conventional car for now. I believe the arms could have been placed in either position depending on how I wanted the power to be attached. I wanted it on the right post and the arms were placed accordingly.
And you did a fine job and I told your boss that! You had the idea to drop it on the wheel dollies at the threshold when the forklift wouldn’t fit under the garage door. Saved the day. Thanks Jacob 👍🏼

The lift towers on this model have a rubber bumper to protect the doors where they would hit.
Awesome lift! As a '66' Monza owner , im glad to see the Corvair christen it for ya!
Thanks!
Tin snips work perfect for cutting metal strapping.
Great tip!
