Hey Eric, from what I can see, that's a nice sandblast cabinet you made there. I have a store-bought one of similar size, but it doesn't work that well. Can you share some of your cabinet design details and tips to making them work properly? Cheers, Bill
Bill the biggest thing that I have found out over the years of using mine. first thing that is important is dry air going into the siphon .humid air or wet will cause it to clump and plug the intake. water trap before the cabinet a good idea.Another big one is a vent line to take air from the top of the sand and let it draw down close to the pickup to replace the sand that is being drawn up. check your tips freq.a carbide or ceramic nozzle is best . hope this helps.

Eric....Have you seen this on Facebook yet. Maybe it'll give you an idea for the Chevelle

And so it begins another project! After much deliberation I have decided to start yet another project I bought this rust free chevelle about 7 years ago and with all the time that it took to get the shop almost ready to go and the belair on the road I thought it would be best to go for broke and build a nasty 1970 chevelle with a mix of new tech and old school iron my hopes and goals are to keep on this and build something that would make my inspirations proud! [Troy trepanier, Chip Foose,and the Ring bros.] wish me luck I am definitely going to need it!

Good luck. I look forward to it.
Just watched your video the other day of the first drive of Twin turbo Impala.
Congrats on that. Nice car and impressive work.

Found this site searching the web for ideas for my nasty garage and this was the first thread I landed on... Read/looked at the pics all the way thru!! Man, EZ, you do have a great eye and imagination to put together one amzing garage!! even through all the outer things going on you managed to pull together some great ideas! You have inspired me like others on here! Way to keep the family involved too, I am about to have a daughter and hope to have half the skills you do when she is ready to learn about my passion... Cars!!
Oh, NEW HERE from TX (currently "residing" in THE STAN) love the site and am very happy I found you all!!

E.rodz,
Awesome work! I especially like the restoration of all of the "antique" equipment. You should check out Automotorplex for their Cars and Coffee on the first Sunday of every month (it is over for the season, but will start up next year). I can't wait to see what else you come up with for your shop.
Thanks for taking the time to keep us updated.

Reviewed ENTIRE thread over past couple days and WOW . . . thanks so much for sharing your awesome talent and ideas here on GJ.
Ordinary people are lucky to have talent in a couple skills, but you've got all the bases covered . . . welding, painting, woodworking, fabrication, wrenching, etc . . . AMAZING! Transformation on the exterior of garage was incredible with the cedar beams, etc. Would have been "over-the-top" to have that loft crane to attic to slide out another 5 ft or so with a steel I-beam and truly have your attic for storage of heavy stuff like extra engines, trannys, supplies, etc. - - maybe a future project (copper door will have to be enlarged from 2 door to 4)?
Hope your Erodz Customs turns into full-time profitable endeavor and can quit your day job someday? At minimum, could develop own line of dust collection system for EVERY tool in your shop! You're improving tools that the factory hasn't even thought of yet! See TV show Shark Tank if you need some private equity capital to get your going.
I'd vote for the Chevelle project be for your boys. Get the family into that project so they could go along to SEMA, etc. Hats off to the cool bike that won grand prize for your boy.
Keep up excellent work . . . we're all tuned in (both GJ and YouTube videos)!

I just found this site again. I'd gotten a new computer and kept forgetting about ehre. now I'm inspired to get hammering on my carhole again. Client work has kept me swamped but i think it's time to make some time for shop improvements, not just big TV and new tools.

Thank you for taking the time to post up. I wish I would have done so many thing different if the garage was not here in the first place and I would have had more $in the first place when this all started but just making it work for now at least until I win the lottery.lol.

Still on the fence about making it a full time job because I love to be out there now and I don't want to lose the passion to do this kind of thing if I did it every day it would prob. get old but anything is possible. thanks for the interest.

LOL. last week I asked my youngest boy if he wanted to build the car for him and he told me his car was not even built yet I laughed and asked what he was talking about and he replied he wanted to build his car from scratch!What have I created??
Keep up excellent work . . . we're all tuned in (both GJ and YouTube videos)!

Eric, For the last two hours I have toured the words, and pics of what I would describe as a functioning museum of correctness, driven by a huge dose of desire for details. I'm blown away. You have some major talent. I WILL stay tuned. Dennis

Subscribed to your Youtube channel last night and got to watch a few video's, the Impala is great and not main stream. I drove a more door 64 in high school and my guys called it the mafia car. Way back befor seat belts were thought of. We used to pack that thing full. Keep it coming.

I've been enjoying your projects for a while. Keep the pictures coming, some of us don't have the patience / internet connections for Youtube. This latest project,... I would go with a big block and 4 smaller turbos. And keep the green. (That's my age coming through, I used to HATE green cars).
Here is the latest video that we made of the dissasembly of the chevelle. sometimes we kick it up a notch and really get something done in a short abount of time. please check this out and subcribe to our channel if you have not already.and as always let me know what you think!
here is a link to our latest video!
