I can lift my car!!

My car is being preped for an ITA race car right now. It is completely striped down. The only things in the car is the brake booster, steering column/box, and the rear end.
I can lift the whole front of the car up from the front bumper. It's really cool! I'm going to get my buddy to take a pic of me lifting my car up and I'll post it.

Mike

That's badass. I can do the same thing given my current project stage. Getting heavier by the day though

Oh wait, that's a good thing

Yeah, it was a little sideways in the stall and we needed to get the other car in next to it.

thats how I got my parts car on the trailer to go to the scrap yard. Me and 3 other guys lifted it off the jackstands onto the trailer.

I remember being able to lift the front of the car with one arm and I'm a skinny ***! Ahhh.....Rx-7's are nice and light, going to be fun with the turbo 13b in it
