Just some more info...I have a 9'3" ceiling height and have a 64 Chevelle Malibu SS vert on top of my Z with about 5" of room left. I was surprised how well it all worked out. 1 thing I did do was get a Liftmaster jack shaft garage door lift and eliminated the center ceiling GD opener. Also extended the door tracks so the door is 2"s from the ceiling for more room.

You guys have great garages and awesome lifts. I took my Z to Islamorada in the Florida Keys which is about 40 minutes from my house. It was a hot and sunny day and I went on the 7 mile bridge which has been totally repaired. It does offer passing lanes and of course you know what that means.. passing tons of cars at 130 mph ... oh yeah!! car runs great.. a little cold down here would be nice.. we dont have seasons here... just one long summer. It has its positives and negatives.... like everything else. I have a one car garage so not much I can do with that. I dont want to buy a bigger house because it costs me peanuts to live. I bought a foreclosure and paid 1/4 of the cost so its stress free but.... i dont have a 2 car garage for the first time in my life... oh well...

The insulation cost $900 as I recall and I am not certain that was the best price available. You might be able to rent a blower from home depot and do it yourself for less. I seriously doubt that the walls were actually filled up, but not worrying about it, as the ceiling was well covered. My garage is 21'x21' with an 18' wide door. The door width helps a lot, as does the 21' overall width. Gets the lift post right at the edge of the door opening with a couple of feet of space to the wall. One thing I had to do was get a 90 degree bracket for the motor/pump mount which mounts it between the posts rather than sticking out towards the wall. There are a number of pictures and comments on the installation in my albums section. --Bob

I did the same with the Liftmaster 3800 and raised the tracks as well. Lots of pics of my setup in my albums--click on my avatar. Looks a lot like yours.--Bob

Good pics Bob. My GD opener is identical to yours. Did you get the backup battery option in your Liftmaster?
