iI ike this one. Even if you take the combo out from the top this is definitely the best setup. The Sunbeam is so low I would think you could lean in over the fenders with it up on four ramps. Use those fender covers always, though. My advice to everyone is always cover it.

I've been working on the carb lately. It's a VW carb and I have no info so it's all by the seat of my pants. It goes ok for now but I have to do something about fuel delivery.
