SOOOOO.....your having a bad day?
« on: November 26, 2009, 06:41:22 PM »
Its a 68 SS396 4 speed....The locks didnt work and one side bled off over night, when he came in the next morning it was on its side. 2 year resto, the guy never drove it on the street!!









If it can't get there on it's own, leave it at home!!

Kinda careless on the operators part....its a shame about the car though.

At least there plenty of repair parts for the Camaro out there.

That's gotta suck, looks like he just added a few more years onto that restoration.  The guy should of never left it up over night like that though, why not just take the time to of lowered it back down.

Let's see, the locks don't work and he left it on the lift overnight anyway.  I think the result is Gods way of saying he was too stupid to own that car.

i work on cars for a living. in almost 30 years, i've never left a car up in the air without double-checking the safety locks.
 on inground lifts, i generally put a deadman under them in addition to the lock on the anti-rotator bar. on above ground lifts like the one pictured, i always lower the car onto the locks. if it looks like it's still dropping on one side, then i know they;re not engaged.

 i only ever leave cars in the air when absolutely necessary though.  seems there was a large bit of carelessness there to me.

He can still drive it though. A little banged up but at least he can say he drove it.  :devil

not necessarily.....the front clip is bolted on on those camaros. it more than likely shifted on a fall like that

PRETTY BIG craftsman decal on it, but i didn't think they sold lifts.

my landlord just installed a new twinpost lift for me here......to replace the 30 year old inground that blew out 3 weeks ago. thankfully, i didn't lose any cars on it.

If you go into the Photobucket account you can see a couple more pics of it.
