I was going to put a ceiling in the shop this year but I got sidetracked a bit. This is a 97 cobra and it needs help. Long story short it has like 20 years of bad mods, cut corners, and a crappy paintjob. Its actually a crystal white car that somebody shot single stage black over which means I...

Next year I intend to do another car build with my boy. He will be 6 and its been too long without something cool in the garage to wrench on. Part of that will be lots of body work. I've worked in a body shop which is where I learned body work and some paint work techniques but I've never done...

Re: My bolt-on 911 aero: it will never be pretty, but now it's much easier to pack Dude, I'm such a massive fan of what you've done with your 911. You and Singer are huge inspirations for me.

im blessed to have cool neighbors. the guy on the side of my shop with the compressor is a car guy and certified awesome mechanic (he trains people on how to fix metro buses in houston) so nobody ever complains even when i forget to shut the compressor off sometimes. I think you know the play...

tightening the springs one of them broke. figured it was time to replace them so I hired it done. she's working great now.

This is the second time it's happened leaving the door **** eye about two feet off the ground on one end. The hardware is all pretty old, should I be thinking about replacing parts? Nothing is broken. Gonna rewind the thing tonight and see how she chooches.

if you use tools they will fail. good to see them making it right. I'm a happy maxjax customer but I called them for seals to one of my cylinders that was leaking and they had no clue what to send me. the hydraulic shop figured it out so no biggy. that's just how things go sometimes.

those ratchets look NICE!

That looks REAL similar to my HF box.

Man if you're going to a new battery anyhow give the new makita subcompacts a try. I love mine, sucker's have power for days and In my opinion they're engineered/built better than the Milwaukees.

the wallmount ovilla posted is the only one i'd use other than these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071D4HQ2B/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I do not like the idea of not having at least 2 sides compressed. I don't trust myself to seat that monkey PERFECTLY. using this I did all the struts on my wife's...

The saw will likely be my next inclusion. It would just be awesome to walk into a pick a part with everything I needed to extract junk inside a backpack.

and man am I loving these little beauts. Subcompact LXT 18v. lightweight and more power than I know what to do with. Plus, ninja black like all tools should be. Once I saw these suckers in action I couldn't get them out of my head.

After my son "made a hill" of all the tools in my box I decided to add some actual things in the top drawer to keep the stuff in place.

We have a whole house filtration system. Rainsoft, i think. we really like it a lot but it was pricey.

My dream would basically be a warehouse airconditioned and would rival most small shops. You know, completely unrealistic. My reality tamed goals are: small garage that is AC'd with good lighting that looks nice and has plenty of storage to keep my tools out of the way when not in use. She's...

I've had that height for a while I just finally got some good lumber up there strong enough to hold sheetrock :D :beer:

Thanks! Its taken a few years. Just gotta keep pluggin away. I love them both. Haven't done more than just practice with the hobart but i'm more than pleased with it. I'm only doing exhaust and body stuff from time to time so I don't need anything too crazy. Its easy to set up and consistent...

You really should re-read what I write before taking cheap potshots like that.

They cost more because they are built to be production line professional rigs. Hobarts have all the same guts except for the motors which do not need to be anywhere near the level of durability that a production line box. When I say production line I mean welding 5 days a week for 8 hours a...
