Well the time has come and I am ready to jump and purchase a 2 post lift. I have plenty of headroom in the shop (12'+), and plenty of thick concrete below (6"-8"). A few questions I hoped y'all could help with. 1. Pay for install or DIY? 2. Any contacts for a Houston, Tx area sales or...

Wheels are for lawn mowers Arnold brand via Zoro.

I lettered it as the 430 which could of been purchased in the the TBird that year, However if I remember correctly less than 100 of those cars were ordered built. A few ran in NASCAR for the 59/60 seasons. The 430 cu in (7.0 L) engine was produced from 1958 through 1965. It was the standard...

The body came from EBAY they are referred to as TRIMEX bodies (the company that used to make them in Mexico). I think a few people in the states now have molds and cast them. I will say this one is a little small to make a powered kart out of. I know that Sprint Industries sales a 1/4 scale...

Alright, I am about to start the tear-down process on my 1972 Triumph T120R and was looking for some advice on purchasing tools for the job. I have a fairly stocked garage of vintage/new USA only SAE tools but do not own a single British Standare (Whitworth) tool. I will be needing a few sockets...

We are right upstream of Lake Houston on Luces Bayou. Gig'em.

Yes, looking to build just a shell to start, I will run my own power in the garage and most of the shop equipment minus the lift I already own. Height requirements are max 25' so should be able to have room for a lift. Main purpose will be automotive and motorcycle work, but will need one...

Per the deed restrictions no metal buildings allowed with out variance, however I have counted 10+ metal buildings many over 1200sqft that were approved and constructed. The one thing I have going against me at this point is the waterfront lot. Granted it is the reason we purchased the...

Thinking on building an attached 2 car carport, these are some options I have considered.

Ok, so we are starting out build first part of 2017 and are in the planning process now. We have 2.7ac waterfront lot. The HOA states minimum 2 stall garage maximum 1200 sqft garage. What are some ideas to maximize space use, layout while minimizing cost in a 1200 sqft build. Square or...
