Some of it is made in USA, Some in Germany, Some in Spain, Some in Mexico...with 850 part numbers all of the plants will be making certain part numbers. A lot of our Steering racks will be made in US, while a lot of suspension parts will be Canada.

I have faith that you will do this Camaro justice. I've seen your work. Come get the damn thing. I need the room.
Besides the money, Space is my biggest issue and I'm trying to get that taken care of before winter.....I guess I should have build a 5 car garage instead of the 4.

Tony, I just fiqured out which one I'm getting and they are putting it in next week. http://aresco.org/lifts/fourpostlifts/efp8.php Now my issue is the garage door, I have to get someone to raise the the door tracks up to the ceiling. It looks like I won't have to modify the trusses if my calulations are correct. Even If I modify the trusses it won't be a big job per one of my friends that is a builder. I will have to get a garage door opener that runs off the jack shaft as the regular one will get it the way.

That looks like a nice lift. Company is pretty local to you too, which is a good thing.

Go 12 foot, and make sure when you get the garage door(s) installed let them know you want it high and garage door opener on the side.

How much room is underneath the lift when it is at the highest it will go? Will another car fit under it, with clearance? Did you say your side-walls are 10 footers?
