GT500SC07 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 When changing the oil there is a support bracket located right under the oil filter, that bracket has three holes in it. I took some plastic and covered up the cross member so that oil would not run all over it and into the cross member holes. I might be anal but it kept the car pretty clean on the under side. Over all it was very easy to get to the filter, godzilla must have torqued that oil filter, it was a bugger to break loose. The garage belongs to my Uncle, He plans to buy the Challenger next fall, he's a retired Chrysler dude. I am the guy who took the photo of the shelby with my daughters little peddle stang. My garage is still in the works. I have a question for you guys, I would like to buy a four post lift for my garage as soon as I replenish my bank account, dealer ADM CLEANED ME OUT. Does anyone now where you can pick up a good lift for a reasonable amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I believe I have garage envy. Where did your Uncle get the ramps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500SC07 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 just curious..... how many miles were on it when you changed the oil? 400 miles, I like to flush a new vehicle, it can't hurt. I believe I have garage envy. Where did your Uncle get the ramps? The name of the company is called quicklift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnut Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hmmm.. how do you get the oil to jump into the car like that. I usually have to walk over and pour it in. Yours was there, then it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of the company is called quicklift.com How does that lift work & what is it made of ,looks like a plastic? Went to quicklift .com only found boat lifts. Your thoughts on this lift?

68KR07Shelby Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I would strongly urge a 4 post lift. I have two in my garage and they are the best for working on the car underneath. You get much better access and leverage when you can stand up. ARESCO is the company I bought from in Michigan. Steve; great guy. 3K with drip trays and ramps, installed. And by the way, you do NOT want to try put one of these together by yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the rochester area. I was planning to install a four post lift and I have checked out ARESCO'S shop in Pontiac, just trying to pull the cash together, that dealer ADM drained my slush fund.

Yes mine is already in my garage. I have a lift waiting to be installed. I have it scheduled for the 27th. Steve is great and the lifts are top quality. Highly recommend them. My car is Vista Blue no stripes and I live in Grosse Pointe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
