Default Need a lift in DFW

Hey guys I need some help and I am hoping someone on here can help me out. Well all you know about my project I am guessing. Well all that I have left is just swapping the trannys out, shouldnt take more than 3 hours but I would guess right around an hour and half maybe 2. Then I can drive around and tune it. I dont know if you all know this or not, but I sold my shop so I no longer have a lift. We can do this on the ground but it would make the job 100xs hardrer and longer. So I dont know if there is anyone in the DFW area that has a lift and some air tools that I can barrow or rent out. Please let me know so I can get this thing running. I am very anxious. Thanks alot

I sold it to go to school in the fall. I wasnt having fun with it anymore. It was mainly an F-body shop and now days all the F-bodies are basically the same and make the same power so it got boring, nobody wants to go all out like they did a few years ago.

I have thought about it. But honestly I dont think there is enough truck people to keep a shop afloat, but I dont know, still a posibility

You would be able to keep a shop alive if you did lifted truck and sport trucks.

I have a shop but no lift pm me I have plenty of tools and what not.

Have you thought about Lane? See if you can schedule a time for his help with a tranny swap. If you word it right, you might get use of the lift, tools, and his help for just his hourly rate.
