I emailed you my I.P. 4 adr. I cannot access the HAMB or the Ford Barn on my older (go to) laptop or my cell phone, but can access both with my newer laptop. The older runs windows 7 & the newer runs windows 10 if that info helps any God Bless Bill

Same happened to Lloyd Stone (Lloyd's Paint & Glass) over on the HAMB at our 1st annual Lloydfest car show/party! Can O Beer sitting on the tailgate of his El Camino Gasser, he grabbed it & took a swig...A big old yellow jacket or hornet (not sure what the hell it was but it was big) stung...

Jim, All you have to do is remove the ballast & attach the wires with wire nuts back together. The LED bulbs do not require ballasts. If you would like to stay with the old style, I have plenty of brand new ballasts & lots of bulbs very cheap! Bill

Best of luck in what ever you decide. The lumens of the ones I use is 6000& the color is 6500K, but they are clear lens for maximum brightness. This might be too bright for what you need. As far as the bulbs causing a fire...do you honestly believe with the kind of money I have in a fully...

Here are a couple of pics of the ceiling in the other parts of the building. the first 2 are the main part which is aprox 40x40 with a 13ft ceiling. I had 9 fixtures in there for years, when I had the electric door openers installed I had to move a few to clear the tracks. If you notice in the...

The part of the building pictured starts @ 13 feet & tapers down to 9 feet. I will take a couple of pictures of the ceiling in the other parts of the building tomorrow & post them. Bill

I have had very good luck converting my T-12 fixtures. I have done about 35 of them in my shop. Take out the ballasts & reattach the wires. Here is a link to one of the companies I have purchased a bunch of bulbs from, shipping is free! He has the 38 watt that I use for the main parts of the...

Hello Everyone, I just bought a kit for one of my 12 foot bay doors just to try it. I am very pleased at how they work. I do need to change my bottom seal, but now when I walk in that bay with the lights off I cannot see daylight like I did before! Still a bit pricey & with 4 bay doors it will...

I bought my exhaust fan for my booth from Grainger. I mounted it 6 inches from the floor, it has flaps on the outside that open when the fan is on, I also use the variable spped controller. I built a wooden box around the inside, with a hinged door, insulated it & put the metal siding on it so...

Mine is the exact same lift with an Eagle sticker on it, about 7 years old. I just checked the bolts, mine are castle nuts with cotter pins... bolt is flush with the nut. I am embarassed to say that at this moment mine is being used as a works bench with an IRS from a Jag disassembled on it, but...

If I am not mistaken, Tommys used to acid wash customers trailers for free. I do not remember if this was for life or just a year, but you might check with a dealer. After it is clean, use a Mothers Powerball & Flitz to polish it. I use it on my Featherlite with over 1 million miles on it (see pic)
