[DML] Re: car lift



When you own a Delorean you want to own a good jack and a creeper. I bought
a 3.5 ton hydraulic jack and a creeper from Checker about six months ago
($140 total). I feel that these items have reduced the work effort by half.
I can now lift the car at the center points in the front and the back. I
have a set of jack stands to support the car. I have replace the fuel
accumulator by jacking only the back of the car up.
