semijoe Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 hey guys here a scale gararge ive been working on ive been wanting to build something like for awhile, so i figure i give it shot . ive started by buying a peice 1/4 inch styrene, this way i can bolt stuff to the floor. right now im waiting the floor covering and the wall covering to come in, in the mean while i started to build a working truck lift. fr the main post ive used 1 inch square stock with 2 actuators in them . ive purchased a snap on toll box , which is really kool and highly detailed, also fun a reall kool engine hoist. ive fun some other stuff too. i believe everybody will like what ive in mine . the truck lift is going to really kool when done so lets get started all the legs spread out and extend and the feet can be adjusted in height . she works great. time for detailing it and a ramp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
