Got my lift!

Ok, so I haven't had a chance to put the 911 on it yet - gotta fashion some sort of ramp. It's the Mohawk HR-6. Yes, it's $1000 more than the Harbor Fright jobbie, but I have 9" more than you do...

Thom, that last photo reminded me of my more juvenile days of cow-tipping!

That's pretty cool.

Good stuff. I especially like pic #2, where it looks like you fabbed up some "adaptors" to match up w/ the frame rails.

It was $2300 after tax et al

Those adapters came with it, actually. There's 2 sets - one set that's almost flat, and another with threaded extensions that go up 7"

The bus is surprisingly stable on the lift, a good part of that is due to the weight of the lift - it's ~800lbs I wouldn't want to party with 3 18-year-old cheerleaders in the back of the bus while it's on the lift, but I feel comfortable being under it.

You want scary? Try the 6' version of this lift!

Nice Thom, but I'm abiut disappointed for two reasons! 1) Where is the bikini clad model!? 2) Is that rust under the bus!?

Shame on you! I thought better of you...maintain your good name and get those 18 yr old cheerleaders under the bus with some brushes and a can of POR-15.

I like the lift, esp. the extendable rubber pads. One gets what one pays for I guess....and free VintageBus advertising

California rust is different than Illinois rust; you can just about wipe California rust off with your bare fingers.

Still working on getting the bikini babe, but if you've seen the other yellow bus pix, you know I don't disappoint...
