Do you have a link to where you purchased this? I need to replace ours.

Thank you!

375lbs. If I get too heavy for that one, I won't be able to fit into the attic anyway.

And when they recommend two people for installing this, they're not kidding. 3 would be better.

That sounds great. There are times I am climbing the stairs carrying a heavy box or bin and stare at the 250 lb. limit while the stairs are shaking...

I was just at Home Depot, so I grabbed a shot of the one I bought.

Haven't gotten there yet. The guy I had helping me had to leave after we got the old one out (which took way longer than we had planned). He's supposed to be back this weekend to finish it up.

If I had to do it over again, I'd have used some metal strapping to hold the old ladder to the ceiling joists temporarily while I removed all the screws from the old ladder frame. Then close the door, secure the underside with temporary 1x4s, then remove the metal straps and lift the old door out of the opening.

The original Heck Spoiler and rear Valance are not so common. See my Car below.

Gorgeous car ShopVac and I love the way you modded it, but I agree with infinitekidM2C, the tail lights don`t make it nicer, sorry.

Appreciate the feedback - and don't be sorry, it's a sign of weakness

If I'm not getting the HP from the tails, surely I'll get them from this new badge.

I'd managed to get one of these at an Airport candy shop and for sure they would blow the i
one or the other Halloween bag. Thx for the hot tip, they are very nice and sweet hot tasting
