Hi All,
I moved to GA from TX a few years ago, and brought my cruiser with me.

I knew a few of the cruiser guys in DFW but noone here.

In a few weeks, I will be doing an OME lift on my cruiser. I have all the tools
  • Jackstands
  • Large Floor Jack
  • Impact wrench
  • Propane Torch
  • Impact sockets
  • Healthy set of regular hand tools
  • etc

My cruiser is rust free, and in mint shape, so hopefully things will go smoother than usual.

I am looking for one or two experienced Cruiserheads that can help me work out the little issues that might arise during the lift. I will be working in a private garage in midtown. I am not in a rush and plan do to the lift over as many days as neccesary (2 weeks+).

If anyone is local to midtown and can swing by on random weeknight or help on the weekend, that would be amazing. I will provide beer and good company.

Here is my prep thread:

Thanks!
 
It took my wife and me about 6 hours on 70 series. It was strenuous work but easy. She has rarely turned a wrench. Not sure it could have gone smoother.

Pssh. You guys are fast!
10ish hours if you've never done it before. Or your greasable pins don't wanna come out!
 
I know most people don't want to drive to midtown :steer:

Its probably the fact that none of us are as hip as everyone in midtown hahaha.
But yeah, ill come by and ill bring my "expertise" if ya need me.
