I know the chances are slim to none but I gotta ask.  Does anyone, here in OKC, have a car lift/rack my sis and I can use?  We need to replace a battery cable on her 76 Stingray and it's one of those things that isn't that hard to do but is impossible to do without a lift.  The car shop wants way too much money for her to afford so we are stuck.  Thought I'd give y'all a try.

Yeah, we have a floor jack and jack stands but still not enough room.  I don't know anyone skinny enough to get under there let alone one willing.

I'm too fat, old and ugly to get anywhere batting my eyes lol

I have met "Farm truck" and Azn but I doubt they would remember me.  Could just drive it by their garage and tell them I need the rack to work on Farm Vette.

Tinker AFB has one in their auto hobby shop, but you'll need base access and someone that has taken their "safety course".

you need a set of race ramps or similar ramps designed for cars with low ground clearance

We considered that but, currently, it's not in the budget.  Suffice to say neither is paying to have it done.  As it stands, the car isn't able to be driven as the daily driver it's supposed to be.
