The new shop looks as if it will take a nice 4-post lift!

Thanks ! I'm close to Ashland and Mechanicsville, but just started to look where to find some cruise-ins or meets around here.Welcome to Va.
And install a Liftmaster torsion door opener.Step one.. have someone come in and change your door tracks to an angle up. Those door rails will kill the layout ideas and the original installer should have been shot. Congrats on the move and new shop!
Looks like he can go with 24 inch, high lift tracks and a torsion bar Liftmaster like @moparwacko suggested and that door will rest up by the ceiling out of his way. Personally, I would get rid of that 16x10 sectional and go with a insulated rolling steel like Wayne Dalton makes. Just my opinion.Step one.. have someone come in and change your door tracks to an angle up. Those door rails will kill the layout ideas and the original installer should have been shot.

Yes, Thought I was gonna need to do something with the tracks and change the height of the turn as well. Just happy I will finally will have a lift! Been a long time wrenching on my back. thanks again for the advice. Always appreciated 4sure!Step one.. have someone come in and change your door tracks to an angle up.

Thanks man, yes it has a few of 'em and a great piece of land and the inside is all on one level. Cannot wait to get moving before Spring comes.And install a Liftmaster torsion door opener.
Good luck with the place, hope it at least has a bathroom. Anything after that who cares![]()
Yes Gary, I agree. I came from a 20x24 Steel Pole building w/8' ceiling (truss) height, Uninsulated and open ceiling and all. Only heated it when in there with a double-wide house trailer furnace using Kero. This is a better design 4sure.Wall and ceiling insulation helps on those cold winter days. And as has been suggested, an insulated garage door helps alot! Good luck!
Sounds cool Berg! Yea, I only have one to worry about until my son finds out it can have a lift in it and want me keeping his Duster in there too! Thanks for the Info 4sure. Definitely would like to meet-up at a few of them indeed. Thank BergWelcome to Virgina!
I'm not too far away in Powhatan County.
Let me know if you need to borrow some cars to fill up that garage...
I've heard there is a large cruise-in that happens near Ashland, this website should help you find something:
