Very nice. Here's a cheap and easy alternative for the back yard mechanic that will probably last the life time of the car:

Nice job well done, does anyone know what the drain holes are for? I mean they are well above the floor so you would need 4" or more of water in there. when i removed the rubber plugs I noticed that the holes are threaded.
