Hey that wagon looks nice. I don't think the tucked bumper looks too bad.....and its metal. I like the fact that it is unlike a purchased part. Oh yah, where would I put my license plates LOL

For the most part, by the time you are doing the guide coat deal, you are mostly looking for small scratches or pin holes that are very hard to see without the contrasting color. Most of the leveling should already be done. Defects at this stage should be able to be corrected by more sanding...

Pictures might help, but if you are just looking to fill a small sent, a good quality body filler would be your best bet. A small dent on a flat surface should be a quick fix.

No laughing at my 4-door g-body :o

I got tired of tripping over the pile so I threw this up.....

I would throw a 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 over several rafters and use a come a long or even a pulley to raise it up, then lower it onto the feet.

nice job there. I have been on the lookout for a lathe and or mill for my shop. I have not used any machine equipment for 25 years (in shop class LOL). I've had a few near misses on good deals, it's only a matter of time.

Nice! The problem I have is.......you're making me look lazy:o BTW my chop saw showed up today:thumbup: I hope to fine some inspirational shop time next week!

Thanks Larry! I was googleing metal chop saws and found this http://www.medfordtools.com/evolution/evo355.html It must be the new version. $399 with a steel cutting blade rated for 800 cuts might just be worth a try for me. I can't stand the abrasive choppers. Too much noise, mess and...

cool Larry, I have an XJ too - also in Gunmetal Blue....I need one too! ;) That looks great Tell me about that chop saw/blade. Ive been looking at used cold saws, but I'd only use it a few times a month. It ***** using my little horiz band saw for every cut.

WHOO HOO! Mine showed up today, My shop assistant is very impressed! Seriously Claude, thanks for all of your effort with this!! They look awesome!

Mine are not here yet. I will post up asap once they show up. LOL Jim, mine will not get tried out for a week or two or three, I have a boat to finish and a Desoto Hemi engine at the top of my list.

It was $45 to Tennessee......can't wait to try them out

I was worried about mine pulling out of the studs, so I ran legs to the floor. It's most likely overkill, but I like it that way. I still need to install loops and chain to make sure nothing falls on my melon.

standard please:rocker:

Looking good! You would be amazed what can be done on the cheap. My brother and I used to build lots of stuff to sell @ craft shows(25 years ago). We started with just a circ saw and router. We spent all the money buying woodworking tools:D My most used woodworking tools by far are the...

Oh I forgot- The plans were bought from one of the wood working mag sites. download the pdf and print copies to use in the shop. Good luck! and Post pics

Building a table can be easy or hard-depends on the plans you choose. I build my DR table from rough cut 1/4 sawn white oak. The tools used were table saw, router, planer, jointer, miter saw, band saw (could use jig saw), mortise machine, and clamps. The chairs are much tougher to build...

OK strictly Amateur Hour here, but here goes. kayak wall mount kayak trailer (conversion from old trailer) legs for cheap shelving unit engine dolly (future test stand) work table -it now has expanded metal drawer and bottom shelf (currently has a 1974 150 hp Mercury...

Here's a couple. I'm not a fan of the "roll pan" on this body, but I also hated how far the bumpers stuck out. I guess I ended up in the middle. I also filed the bolt holes and lost the license plate in the tailgate....just to be different. Most folks don't even notice either change.
