I'm jealous about lots of stuff in those pictures not the least of which is your wife "helped you put the lift together", that would never happen in my world.

Well done on all counts! :headbang:

Great job! Looks very professional and functional.
I am curious on how you moved the garage door closer to the ceiling? Did you have to buy additional panels and track?
Cost?

Great work, beautiful outcome! Unfortunately for me, my garage is (always) filled with kids stuff...of course, not on the side where the RT is, but still makes the garage not too nice. Started working on mine last year, stopped, may start again this year! Though doesn't always work "TO THE SHED" is my moto!:D

Where did you get that Viper clock, been looking for something similar.

There are a few sneaky pete clocks available on ebay. There is also a VOI9 clock. Use search words: dodge viper clock
JonB also has one on his website, but it isn't cheap.

Not Cheap? Under $80, but looks more expensive than that. We have dontated several to club regions, and past monthly-prizes here, with good feedback....

Snake Oyl has clocks too........

He's probably referring to the $300+ clocks on your site. Here is one I bought from PR a while back...

That clock is a harbor frieght clock with the paper cover changed and viper added. I hope you did not pay 300 for it :omg:

I was referring to these for $329 and $339.
PartsRack.com
PartsRack.com

They are the only two when I search for 'clock'. If you have others (for $80), then I guess they aren't on the website. I can't buy what I can't find.

That's what you get with JonB. He's got a gazillion things, but the website is absolutely pathetic. I don't know if it's better sending him emails or calling him, but that's what you've got to do in order to do business with him. Good luck...hopefully he'll have taken his medication prior to doing business with you. ;)

A website is a reflection on the company. I know that JonB is legendary in the Viper world, but he probably isn't working at 1:00 AM when I'm browsing for new tires. One thing I love about Tire Rack's website is the ability to see the tires on the car.

The only tires on the Parts Rack website are 18" and 19". I'm guessing he may have 17" that I'm looking for, but that doesn't do me any good if I can't find/see them.

The above are Snake-Oyl Neon Clocks

Our "under $80" clock is the NorCal club Logoed AutoArt /Speedgear Caliper Clock as shown. The clocks we donated to the VCA Monthly Web prizes a couple years back had a PartsRack logo. Since that time, the ones you might buy do not.

....kind of you to mention my medication, from my broken arm/wrist/hand surgeries last year no doubt? Off the meds now, but for some P.T. pain on occasion. Sometimes I do need to medicate a headache AFTER the rare and specific caller. Most are fun.
Our one-line cataloge works better than our on-line catalogue: If It Fits On Or In a VIPER.......we probably have it, or can get it.

Thanks

I love it because it looks functional! Some garages are cleaner/nicer than a house. Yours looks like I could actually get some work done in it!
Thanks and yeah, it is fun to go out and work on the car. Funny thing, once I got a lift I also got a lot more friends...hmmm...;)

I keep seeing dream garages here on the forum :p Maybe a sign? :D

EDIT: Also, what rear deck lid spoiler and front splitter is that? Love the Z06 + snake combo btw :thumbup:

The splitter looks like the Eurotek carbon fiber lip splitter. Steve at Vipair also sells one like that. The spoiler looks to be the Autoform style. JonB Partsrack for that.

Yep, VicTXV10 got it right. Euroteck lip and Autoform spoiler from Partsrack. Highly recommend the spoiler, makes the boring rear end of the verts looks a lot better

Didn't end up using tile. Explored quite a few options but ended up deciding to stain the concrete. Couldn't get the colors right with just the stain so we ended up adding a colored sealant to the top. It's a Sherwin Williams product. So far it's holding up great. Good luck with yours!

This was in response to cfiiman. Sorry, still learning how to use this site..

Those side lift jack screw openers are the best, just put two in my new garage build.


Got the clock off eBay, think it was only something like $50. I agree, the side opener is awesome. Handles the weight of the insulated garage door with no problems. Getting the center opener out of there and raising the tracks changed the whole garage.

I'm lucky, she's about as cool of wife as a guy could ask for. She even flipped channels back and forth between the games and refilled the mugs. Somehow I have a feeling it's gonna cost me though, maybe a day of shoe shopping or something..:smirk:.

Just a few feet of extra track is all that was needed. No extra panels. Picked up the extra track at my local Overhead Door shop, less than $100. Had the side openers professionally installed, wasn't confident I could adjust it properly to handle the weight of the insulated door. Took two guys one morning to do it (one opener on each of the two doors). Total cost for the two openers, including installation, was $1100.
