So I’m in the market for a wall mounted shop vac. I want something of decent quality, but prefer not to spend a bundle. Anyone out there have any suggestions for a fella such as myself?

Man, did a buddy of mine find the mother load… I realize this isn’t entirely on topic, but you gotta be dead if you don’t enjoy this. Essentially, it’s a an album over 100 vintage photographs taken of vintage Ford buildings – dealerships, shops, etc… GOLDEN.

You guys are probably sick of hearing me sing the praises of Lee Valley (They aren’t paying me – I swear it!), but his bounced up and I can’t help myself. How many times have you had a piece of hardware that you can’t quite identify?

“Is it a 1/4-28 or a 1/4-20?”

“It looks like a fine thread… I think…”

If you don’t work in the shop every single day and surround yourself with hardware, sometimes it really is a guessing game. No more fellas. I’ve always wanted one of these.

It’s long been a dream of mine to own and restore a small shop from the turn of the century. One of our members lived that dream and the results are simply fantastic.

A member on our sister site, jalopyjournal.com, recently finished up a restoration of his vintage Snap On box. Rather than going back with straight factory red, he decided to get creative – Viper red, flake, and lots of clear.
