Hi all,

I'm gearing up for my build.
I posted back in the spring when I first put in my order and you guys said the wait would be tumultuous.
Well to tell you the truth, I've been pretty cool about it. Until now....LOL

I built a shed to de-clutter the garage. I'm now in the process of getting it set up.

I'm planning on a build thread.
I will include the shed build and garage progress when I start it.


One of the many tools I will be purchasing is a low profile floor jack.
Any comments on one from harbor freight?

Right now I'm heading out to unbolt cabinets I installed last spring because I decided on an epoxy floor.

I'm looking forward to the build process. Doing my best to keep my head in the game that this garage prep is all part of that process! :o

I'm in pretty much the same boat. I built a 12x10' shed to get all the gardening stuff out of the garage before the kit gets picked up around the end of March.

I have the harbor freight low profile jack, works great for the roadster. Looking forward to following your build journey.

My kit was scheduled for 12/31. Had to push back to June, try that for pain.

I have this one (https://www.harborfreight.com/15-ton-professional-racing-series-aluminum-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-58206.html) from Harbor Freight and so far it's been great for my Roadster build.

It's a 14" lift so I end up using a 4x4 on it but it works. If I did it again I might consider one with a higher lift.

No doubt the wait is excruciating.
