Solution to my Parking Problem
however, the stang should be on top since you drive it the least (or at least should do so)

The stang would be my son's ride. I would be afraid to stick the vette under a oil leaking Ford 
The ceiling in the garage is 9'. The cut out is 6' x7' 24" depth.
The lift is a Pro Park 8s The roof clearance on the stang is 55.1"
There is a good 8 to 12"" clearance with the vette raised to the max.

It is not advisable to cut the bottom cord of a truss roof as I have done here with out consulting a qualified contractor.
For even this short span there are two suspended beams and considerable bracing involved.

Engineer Advice
As a structural engineer (aviation), cutting that truss gives me goose bumps. But, houses don't fly, so it is probably cool. Nice Vette! I have an '07 LMB coupe. My garage is barely too short to fit both my Vette and the wife's Accord in tandem. Maybe I should consider stacking.

The lift has only been setup for a few hours.
It seems to go up in about 40 or so seconds and down a little quicker.
I still need to tweek the position of the lift a bit more before I bolt it to the floor.
