Well about a year ago I bought an 06 GT from Shelby telling my wife it will look great in the garage with the Vipers. Then like most I found I just "had to have" my favorite color--blue, and sure enough Shelby oblidged once again. (so accomodating)

Of course now we needed another garage to house the blue ovals. I have had Vette garages and Viper garages but this is my first shot building a tribute to Dearborn.

That's whats great about pi$$ing away $$ on cars--you can always find new projects. Please note that I special ordered blue and white flakes for the epoxy floor--in fact there is a blue theme throughout (thanks Camillo and Lowes).

Has the GT garage replaced the 'Vette garage? I like the VIR Camilo painting. The blue oval theme looks great, but there are a few Viper items that snuck into that garage! :lol

Very nice. With some lifts you could easily put two more GTs in there. Don't waste all that space.

I love it and the choice of cars. That ladder scares the heck out of me though; physics tells me it's unlikely but that Blue GT feels like a magnet for that red ladder. Enjoy.

If you want a lift, look at a Backyard Buddy, the best and safest by far.

Nice garage. Your VIR print was a print made off the painting I commissioned Camilo to do of my midnight Blue car. I will second Backyard Buddy. Reliable and US made.

Hard to see but the red 92 Viper is sitting on a Rotary Revolution lift which I really like. I will probably get another for the new garage. I have heard good things about the BB as well.

Gentlemen,

The Rotary Revolution is a very high quality lift. I bought one of the last of their "home use" models that was made in the USA. Their commercial lifts are still made in America but two years ago they shifted production of their home lifts to China. Price was cut in half and lift capacity went up. There are still a few USA built Revolutions in dealer stock but they cost about $7000. A local friend just bought 3 Direct Lifts for $5700 total ($1900 each) that do the same thing. They don't look as cool in his garage though. I think a red blooded American Ford GT deserves to live on an American lift. :usa

Backyard Buddy is one of the few left. This Chinese thing is starting to bug me.

Try Heartland lifts out of missouri. Dale is the owner and they are manufactured in the US and they make them to order. I have one and I can tell that it is the best quality lift out there. Better than Backyard Buddy (IMO) and there headquarters and 30 miles from my home.
