Yup, I see them now. One option would be to see what you need as it goes together. But I think you are going to want to use them on the right side suspended with chain so they'll point straight down. Perhaps right at the seam?

 

I have worked in a few shops where the wall next to the lift had fixtures mounted to shine under a car. That helps quite a bit especially if the ambient lighting isn't that bright. Just make sure to put a guard of some sort on there so it's slightly more difficult to break a bulb.

Ford_Six, my lift will be in the middle (maximum height area) so that isn't an option. The lift will be a twin post frame lift so attaching lights to it won't work either. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I like your sig, my first truck had the key on the left, it was a 58 F-100 originally with a 223 Mileage Maker complete with the Holley Visi-Flow glass bowl carburetor.

 

Well, today, now that the neighbor and I got the right wall squared up, I started on the wall. I started on the left end as that's where the breaker panel and walk-in door go. I had to move the door over a bit from where the project engineer had it located, he didn't realise there was a conduit for LAN, phone and TV right there.

The small horizontal piece is to tie the uprights together temporarily. The wall is quite solid as it sits even without the sheathing.

 

I've seen those buildings with recessed walls, but with yours sticking out how do you seal the roof to the wall? Is there flashing?

 

Gary, the row of holes is where the flanges bolt, they overlap the wall. I had to remove them to fit the wall uprights. Once the wall is finished, then it will take two to reinstall them, one on the outside to stick the bolts in and tighten, the other inside to put the nuts on and hold them with a wrench.

 

Ahhhhhh! That makes sense. Should keep the rain out nicely. Thanks for the explanation.

 

Bill,
In your first pic it appears the side wall is still splaying outward.
Were you not able get a strut in place and correct this?
Maybe it is just an illusion due to camera angle or something?

 

Jim, that wasn't the problem side, it was the other and it is fixed. Now for further edification, here are some more pictures. I have the intermediate uprights in and the door. I stopped to watch the race for today and probably won't do any more till tomorrow.

 

I didn't realize that the sag was asymmetrical.

It's nice to see your progress.
And Gary can now see some of the cap/flange in your first photograph.

My perception that the side wall and the corner post converge towards the slab must be mistaken.
You seem to have the situation well in hand.

Hope you enjoy the race!

 

Yes, I see the cap. As for the race, I was driving and listened to everything except we arrived at the destination with 4 laps left. I hope to watch them when I get home tomorrow.

 

Today I did something to my truck first, got a newer, better condition camper shell. As a result, I didn't get started until early afternoon. I measured, cut, nailed together and installed the left side 3 2X6 X 16' upright for the 10 foot high door. After that, both sides of that section in place, I hung the breaker panel.

 

I noticed Darth was topless the other day.

I figured he was just enjoying the sunshine and being used as the truck he really is!

 

That phrase brings back memories, and Janey and I laughed at them as we left Memphis today. Years ago a lady told us that she and her daughter had driven around that day "topless". What she really meant was that they'd driven in their convertible with the top down. So today when a blonde in a convertible Mustang drove by with the top down I asked Janey if I should look.

 

That's why my boss said my Konvertible should be called Gypsy, since it could be topless. Side note, the first time I took him for a ride in it (we went to pick up dinner after I had been working on his Craftsman ST16) I stood on it pulling out onto a main road, turbo spooled up and slammed us both back solidly. He damn near crapped his pants, had never been in a 4cyl car that ran like that.
