I have two simaliar 40x80 metal buildings I work in. One has some skylights and my phone always works good, even inthe paint booth. My newest building is also 40x80 and has no skylights and my phone will not unless a door is open. I may have to add a couple skylights to the new place to...

I have two of the same 40x80 steel buildings I work in. One has fiberglass skylights and cell phones work perfect, even in the metal paint booth. The newest building has no skylights or windows and my cell phone cuts off after I get a few feet into the building. The new building with no cell...

I have to agree with the first post on the Y-Block 312-292 Ford starter sound. They have a smooth sound and the motor comes to life. Also the sound of a Hot Roded Y-Block is hard to beat. My factory supercharged '57 Ford sedan makes me happy, everytime I twist the key. I'm gonna take a ride...
