Quick update on the Wreck Room... Lifts are bring delivered Monday after lunch, which will be about 4 hours after an expected 4" snow is supposed to conclude. Spent 7 hours in the as yet unheated Wreck Room today shoving a couple of Wrecks outside (and tarping them up so a couple of neighbors...

Thank you to everyone who took advantage of the discount. Hope everyone here has a productive Winter in their garages!!

Hello, Everyone! As HAMB-Alliance Vendors, we also extend this offer to our GJ brethren: Today Only, all RediRads are 20% off and that translates into: - RediRad for AM-only radios with 6 volt electrical systems, either positive or negative ground: $119 - RediRad for AM-only radios with...

I am looking at both Cree (based here in Wisconsin - prefer to keep it as local as possible!) and Nichicon. I have LED lighting system power supply design experience so what I am considering is a system. Perhaps putting together a checklist for people to order what they want (number of strings...

Thread update: lifts ordered... In keeping with refreshing old threads that I started, this past September I ordered three, 4-post 'storage' lifts and an asymmetrical 2-post from Rotary. I struggled with what I could afford vs. customer support vs. 'what my gut says'. The 4-post lifts are...

Wow thanks for all the tentative interest and sagely words of caution (light output vs. CO$T)! Please also accept my apologies for the delayed reply to this thread. As December unfolds, I will both be sending some PMs to you as well as providing updates to this endeavor. Belated Happy...

Hi everyone, Although we are best known for the RediRad, we are considering branching out into shop lighting, using LEDs. These little critters make a lot of light, can be used as under-cabinet and/or indirect illumination and we believe that the time right for this in the enthusiast's garage...

Hey, errbody... I neglected to followup on the mezzanine technology that I used. Go to: http://www.lwstructures.com/ and http://www.lwstructures.com/portfolio.html to see some of their builds. FWIW, mine is the first one on the list. Any questions, please ask.

Hi mybuickgs- See attached for how I did it. I have three separate circuits that are 'zoned'. That allows me to keep the (eventual) storage half cooler than the work area. Also notice the two 3' x 3' keep-out areas for the 2-post Bend-Pak (a future purchase). Going on the advice of someone...

I am all about the Dickies flat-front Navy or Black work pant. They wear like iron. But, 4 pr of jeans and 2 grey Ike coats later, I am also sayin' thanks for the heads up. Still, it's hard to believe they offer a lifetime warranty on the jeans...you can bet your rivets I am keeping my receipt!

A comment and then my fridge... A-MEN, truckdriver. Style is worth paying for. In addition, I disagree with speculative claims of "triple the operating costs" and all that ... I put a W-h meter on my '57 Philco and found it uses 23% more energy than the late-model boring white box in our...

Thanks for your reply! Well, I have nine to choose from...no 'verts though. But if you hear of one for sale, PM me! I will post pics of my rides sometime. :)

I designed mine to have a 30 x 20 work area, with benches and one lift, plus a 30 x 20 storage area. The work area will have about 20' long x 3' deep worth of benches against the wall. A 40" wide staircase shortens the 30' down but basically I will have a 26' x 13' work area. '62 Pontiacs are...

krooser, using CL, should I use the term 'auto lift' or 'hoist' or ??

Thanks for the replies, gents. The lift I am considering could be 30 years old (certainly 20) considering the area code on the phone number predates the current area code for the town the dealer was in. I will contact them (the Canadians) on Monday and see what's what. If I don't go for this...
