I've been there... just tucked some cardboard on the windward side.

When is the lift getting installed?
Thanks Russ. You need something like this or more for your fleet!

Lift schedule is still uncertain. Depends on when I get the inside mostly done and also what I am going to do with the floor, some sort of clear sealer most likely. Never know, somebody with a 6.0 is liable to visit and drop spots on the concrete, need to be able to wipe it right up. Realistically, sometime in the late spring most likely.

We would love to add on to the current garage, or build a second. We store all the classic cars at our house so my dads truck and 1 of my trucks can fit in the garage along with the '56 Bel-Air and '76 Vette. Whatever I'm driving the next day stays inside for obvious reasons. I would LOVE to be able to keep all my trucks/car in the garage all winter long but the space required would be rather large.

We have to jocky my dads Explorer in then whatever i'm driving at the time.

Looks and I'm sure runs awesome too!
Thanks all for the kind words.

As to Livin Large's engine compartment, don't believe I have ever seen images of it.

It seams like clear coat but it is never uniform from one motor to the next. My poor 7.3 in my X has it all over the hpop reservoir, spider, and turbo housing.

Just a thought all the sudden here.... Is there a sag pump upgrade for the 7.3L? Or any better powersteering pump upgrade for that mater?

At a dead stop, even with my foot off the brake, I can hardly turn the wheels.

This engine compartment was NOT clean at the time of all 3 pics, but you guys would HATE me if I took a pic after a detail.

Probably from the use of PB Blaster or other similar product.
