I second the Aircat.

I'm a big fan of AirCat tools, decent price and lower noise level.

I hate not finishing the truck but I have been bitten by the "Muscle car bug". I'm also restoring a 69 Chevelle SS and really can't manage 2 projects.

I used this primer and paint. http://www.nomorerust.com/ It took less than a quart for two coats with a foam brush.

I have a 68 Chevy K10, stepside project vehicle for sale. The truck is complete (just in parts) The frame has been cleaned and painted. I have a running 350 engine which goes with the truck. Also has a 3 speed manual transmission. Rear is a posi 12 bolt with 308 gears. Front is drum brake. $1500...

I went and looked at the Northern Tool and Equipment website and it lists several drills which are made in the US. Mainly milwaukee and makita. I like this one.. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200108124_200108124

First a small rant..... I went to Lowe's last night to pick-up a 1/2" electric drill and some c-clamps. I looked over all the drills and the c-clamps, NOT ONE was made in the USA. I admit that in the past this probably would not have bothered me and I would have bought the dewalt, milwaukee or...

I use a brown shelf/drawer liner from Wal-Mart that is sticky/tacky enough that it will not move and holds tools really well. It's made out of cushion material with small holes in it. I believe it is around $4 a roll and will do multiple drawers.

I bought this set http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120201449145 14 piece, stamped USA. They are not fully polished (just the ends) The seller runs then about every week, sometimes BIN, sometimes auction. The BIN is around $32 with $7 shipping.

I ordered this yesterday but was curious why there are two 15mm sockets in the set? Maybe a typo? http://www.tooltopia.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8518

I tried one of these "generic" % off coupons at my local HF here in Huntsville AL. and they WOULD NOT accept it without an expiration date printed on it.

I use this type of disc on an angle grinder. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200312769_200312769 Usually does a good job of sharpening the blades if they are not in too bad of shape. If the blades are really dull or have been nicked bad by hitting something...

I run a lawn/landscape business as a side job and am constantly sharpening mower blades. I have found that flap wheels work great and don't wear down the blades as fast as a grinding wheel. As a side note, I have several angle grinders and keep different kinds of attachments on each one...

I own this one... http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_265097_265097 It's adequate for what I use it for. The laser is pretty cool!

I put a 36" poultry fan in the back of my shop for ventilation..
