Cool to see a donor build. Your audio (narrative parts) volume is super low compared to the music in the time lapse. FYI you should be able to easily level that out in your editing software. Makes it tough to watch with having to chase the volume.
I'm thinking about Cera coating my headers. Is it difficult ? I have painted a couple of cars, not show quality but nice drivers. They have a starter kit for 200$ that would them .Would appreciate any feedback from you. I enjoy your videos because of your sense of humor and your skills. Thanks.
It wasn't at all difficult. I sent the exhaust out to get media blasted first, but you could just use a red 3m pad on them too. You'll be happy with how nicely the cerakote goes on. I used a 0.9 tip on my gun. I think they recommend a 0.8.
There are two ways to buy a two post lift, the first and most common is symmetrical, where the posts are facing each other. The other, as you observed is the asymmetrical lift, which has the posts facing forward at an angle. Some of the advantages are (taken from online sources): Easier Door Access: The asymmetrical design allows for more space around the vehicle's doors, making it easier to open and close them for technicians or drivers while the vehicle is on the lift. Improved Interior Access: The offset positioning of the vehicle on the lift, achieved through the longer rear arms, allows for better access to the vehicle's interior for maintenance or repairs. Optimized Weight Distribution: Better Balance for Front-Heavy Vehicles: The asymmetric design, with longer rear arms, allows for a more balanced lifting of vehicles with a heavier front end, such as front-wheel-drive cars or those with heavier engines. Reduced Strain on Lift Components: The asymmetric design helps distribute the vehicle's weight more evenly across the lift arms, reducing stress on the lift's components and extending their lifespan. Hope that helps. Thanks for asking!

I can’t wait to start my build! Watching you do this is only ramping me up with excitement.

Thanks for the feedback! (that was an audio joke)

What is the advantage to mounting your lift post at an angle? Genuinely curious.

Wow what a great response. As of now I am to the first body fitting episode and really appreciate your series.
Glad to have you!
Everything in this build sounds like LATER. When you get done, you won’t be finished.
Isn't that the truth.
Love your feline interaction. J S
