I didn't have that nice lift to pick up my camaro so i got 4 car ramps, a cherry picker 2 stands and 2 wood mover dolly's here are some pics so you can get an idea!! the pic with the red camaro is not my car i always had the ramp on my rear tires so i didn't had to lift that much and always had room to work underneath!! before lifting my car i installed the dolly's under my k-member and trans so i could move around once is out as you can see on my engine at the bottom!!
