Thought I'd take a minute and share my little fabrication cart. My dad gave me the cart with vice and bench grinder. I use it for welding and fab projects and it works great. I keep c clamps on the end, spring clamps on the side, welding magnets hold themselves to the frame. My small chop...

My garage is a complete wreck at the moment because I'm thrashing as hard as I can to complete my transmission swap on my trooper which has been far from straightforward. But I thought I'd share one of the smaller things I've done. My wrench and socket drawers drove me crazy. I had everything...

Fork em! :evil: Thanks! I'll be down in your neck of the woods in like 2 weeks. The SAE college mini Baja series is being hosted in Tucson next year and I'm on the committee. We're doing a site visit with the SAE HQ folks to start laying out plans.

Yeah I'll probably try to do just that. I have no interest in keeping the 327,but I might try to make a few bucks on making it some other persons problem

I love the rotsun. I'm certainly not going to attempt a concourse quality resto. I just want this thing to be solid underneath, and fun. And preferably fuel injected. I'll probably do a twenty foot paint job on it at some point, but other than that 99% of the effort will go into making it...

Well, my brother came over tonight and we got the Datsun in its storage spot until I'm done with my isuzu. We just put tires on the back and pushed it. Kinda bent the rear bumper a bit, but it was already bent a bit so not too worried about it. Pretty excited about this. I have a few projects to...

Layout of the garage So I got out some graph paper and a measuring tape and measured everything out to the nearest 6 inches. Each square on the graph paper is 1 square foot. My garage is 18 feet wide and 21 feet long. You can see at the bottom right of the attached image there is also a small...

Lol, thanks!

Only if I wasnt grateful for all the gifts! I've certainly received more than I deserve! Thanks!

Well instead of heating you'd be trying to figure out cooling. I read your thread the other day, well not the whole thing, I skipped around, but you get up to some proper engineering in your home shop!

Is a 327 according to my uncle. It's really in bad shape, but the car ran when parked so maybe the motor still has some life left. Either way I plan to LS swap it because I prefer fuel injected motors.

Well, i got my side behind my RV cleaned up a little today, and it was very much needed. And I brought home a project, my uncle is giving me his v8 swapped 240Z that hasn't run in 26 years in exchange for me selling some stuff for him. The Z didn't quite make it to the pad as the tires were too...

Yeah I have 4 generations of tools because I have a few things from my great grandfather, lots of stuff from my grandpa, a few things from my dad, and then all my stuff. Hopefully one of my kids will take an interest and we can make it 5 generations.

Hello everyone, I'm Rob in phoenix AZ. Thought I'd start a thread on here to get ideas about how to put my garage together. I'm a family guy first and foremost, but I put a roof over our heads by being an engineer. I work designing high end force sensors. I went to Arizona state and got a...

Definitely skipped around a bunch, but I enjoyed reading in your thread. Hope I can have as big a shop as yours someday, but instead of all the fuss with warming it up, I'll be fussing with cooling it down, I'm in phoenix. Keep up the good work!
