I had a bad rattle in the front of a car I bought when I was 16. Drove me nuts. I hunted for months and never could find it. It only would rattle at higher speeds (I won't say how high). One day I took the grill out for some reason...well what do you know. I just found my rattle. It was a...

I have to agree with Bull based on the pics. Other than the door area where something corrosive was spilled on it...it looks salvageable.

Love it! My 56 is stock (replaced wiring harness of course), but no fancy sensitive anything. I think the whole truck has two fuses...maybe. I have a simple probe light that works well for what I have ever needed on it. :lol_hitti

Do not strip it to bare metal..unless it is flaking badly or there is rust under the paint bubbling up. Sand the rusted areas and prime in several light coats. Toolboxes have a good paint on them to begin with. Sanded lightly, you can paint right over it and have excellent results (just like...

Thanks for the suggestion. I just found out it is listed as a "hometown" store. It says nothing about that on the building nor anywhere inside. I have a profound hearing loss so could not make a phone call. However, I found an E-mail address.

Re: So I didn't know this tell now!! You need to read this: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=143377&highlight=student+discount It shows all the current student discount programs that GJ is aware of at the moment.

I truly appreciate the offer. I do not have paypal either. Its ok, I will either find a relative or not worry about the bars at this time. Sorry for venting in this thread. I was more than a little angry at the local store. They are a great deal for about half of what they wanted here ($39.99).

What they said about the hoses and pressure..but 4hP on a small tank? Gas (I have a 5HP briggs on a 20 gallon tank) or electric? I know my gas compressor will not put out enough volume to run my cheap impact for more then a few seconds at full power. After that it the power tapers off...the...

Yes, contrary to what "teachers" claim..it pays well. They only work 8 months out of the year. :lol_hitti Of course I teach at a small college :) I won't go back in there. I wish I had the names of the people involved. I would E-mail headquarters. I cannot hear on phones, so a call...

Obviouslly they do not care. I overhead them tell some guy he would have to send his broken ratchet off to some "repair center" (at his own cost). They do not replace tools that are broken. I will no longer go into this local store. Period. I am off for the summer (teacher), but I will use the...

Again not a project and certainly nothing that takes any skills. I have seen many professional and home made air tool racks. I found where someone machined some out of aluminum that I liked the design. So..I borrowed the idea. I do not have access to a milling machine. I do not like having to...

The easiest and best fix....come south where the vehicles do not rust out and get a new panel. Yes...cutting out and welding in new metal is a great fix, if you have the skills, equipment, money, and time. Bolting on a new panel after you have it painted...is the easiest for most home type...

Re: packrat bordering on hoarder.... I am learning I am not the only one like this. I am very thankful I found this forum. You are all very much appreciated. All of your comments are taken to heart. I think (for me anyway) the first step was admitting I have a problem. It is difficult, but...

I totally agree with most of the comments in this thread. Pick one that has the features you want and work only with that software. Jumping around gets way way way to confusing. If Sketchup does what you need, stick with it. You will soon be fast and accurate. Personally, I prefer working...

I will not be back in our local sears store again. I have in the past bought a lot of tools through the craftsman club..right in the store. They have always honored it. Today: I walk in, find these pry bars on the shelf. Go to the check out. Show the lady the craftsman club card and the...

That may not be broken...look at the pics in this thread of several old vices. They look very very similar. http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62716&showall=1

Lucky! I live in a retirement area (the whole county)...they sell off all tools before they move here. The closest CL is 2 hours away. :(

Hi all, I am sick of my air hose laying across the garage or piled up in front of the compressor. I know I could use an old mig wire wheel to just wind it up on (my portable [5 HP briggs engine] has that), but I would like to find something easier for my bigger compressor. What do you have...

Does anyone have the part number? I cannot find them on the craftsman club E-mail junk. Since they stopped sending out the flyer...I have not bought any craftsman. LOL
