A 10" PT deck on grade?!? I've been on projects where we needed to core drill PT decks for pipes, it's no joke when you said nobody died....

That table has a ton of potential. I agree with the guys, hit it with a flap wheel to clean it up. It'll get stuff on it constantly if you're using it for automotive use. I have a similar setup. I made mine so my welder and plasma can park underneath it, to save space when not in use...

Hockey tape would work, but the stuff I have used is mostly cloth... Works in the wet, but can get gross after a while. Id think some neoprene gloves. Like the blue palm ones would be ok, just rinse them out after getting soapy.

Picked this up on CL a while back. Pretty rusty, but nothing a grinder with a wire cup wouldn't take care of. I think the hardware needs correction, but it's OK for now.

I don't quite yet. Thought I'd get a little further into it, and maybe make a thread.

It's technically for a Mustang, but it's pretty close. It's a complete kit. Rack and pinion, disc brakes, coilovers and boxing plates. Pretty easy install so far. Next is narrowing the 8.8 rear diff I have for it.

Technically it was last week, I got the crossmember in my 61 Falcon. Yesterday I got this little vise cleaned up and ready to go. Ya, the nuts and washers aren't correct, but I'll remedy that next time I go to the hardware store.

Very cool. It's hard to beat an LS swap dollar for dollar, but hearing those rotarys rev is fun too. I'm curious what he used for the ECU. Does the Racepak dash play nice with a factory harness?

Theres a lot going on in this picture. The roll up door skinned to look like a wall of safes, the bead rolled paneling... cantilever suspension up on the "old" rear diff... That build doesn't look like a pure race car... Is it for SEMA next year?

What is this? An RX-7 FC race car? Autocross, drift? More pics please!!

Those racks are along the lines of what I was thinking. Fortunately I don't have to store any big mud tires or anything. I opted for a loft in the shop and that left me 9' ceilings, so I cant don't have unlimited vertical space. That makes 2 post car lift options somewhat limited too. I'd...

I don't know about the pump direction, but I do know you want to be very careful with the calculations for the zones from the manifolds. If I remember right, you want no more than 300' of tubing on a loop. As far as attractive, I would install osb or plywood backing behind whatever you sheet...

Looking for a nice looking way to do just that. Up high on a shop wall is what I have in mind. I have a few sets that take up room on the floor, and I don't like it. They are always in the way, getting dirty, etc...

I would jut focus on safety, no matter what you end up doing. That much weight, and sounds like the OP isn't a professional mover.(no offense,OP). Could be a recipe for problems. People start losing hands and feet when that kind of load slips. Not that it isn't worth doing if a guy has to...

I've had the Vulcan Migmax 215 for about a year. No problems. Welds great. AvE's video on YT and a handful of non-sponsored videos that aren't of the "unboxing" type basically cover everything you'd need to know. My two cents worth of opinion is that it's a fine machine for the money. +1...
