I have many quarts some new, never opened. DP40, DP90 etc. Most is from early 2000, some late 90's. I figure its not worth the risk right? Toss it all? Or just the previously opened ones? I can add pictures later. Or only use it to paint tool stands and the like? :dunno:

So here I am nearing the end of my wife's V8 Volvo swap. Many loose ends but light at the end of the tunnel. What I am trying to figure out now is how do I get the proper speedo drive gear to spin a cable? The 4RW70 from a 2WD 2000 Explorer never had a cable. I added an AOD tail shaft housing...

Just trying to decide if I use hose or modify the sender/pump unit to accept a fitting? I know its special hose and clamps to deal with the pressure, still seems sketchy? :dunno: Success or failures? Post away! :thumbup:

So I bought a Lotos 50 amp plasma. The cord says 30 amp and I'm getting questions about that cord for a 50 amp tool. Does the plasma generate amps? I went to gather wire and receptacle for a 50 amp tool and showed the guy at the hardware store the cord which clearly states 30 amps. He suggested...

5HP compressor and a plasma cutter? Just bought a 50 AMP plasma and have an old IR 5 horse upright compressor. Right now my shop has a 70 AMP service based on wire size we ran from the house to the shop. I'm thinking since I only have one 220 outlet that I could branch off that one adding...

Certain projects make me want to give up cars as a hobby. Laying carpet is one. The front section will be (has been) easy. The back section where the rear passenger foot wells are is giving me fits. I have gotten some helpful advice on another forum. Just always a good idea to see if others can...

Looking for a quality assortment of body plugs. Have a few rotted ones as well as some holes I'm not ready to weld shut. I know I can get cheap sets but would rather pay a bit more and get good ones. Something like this (but bigger?) http://www.steelerubber.com/body-hole-plug-kit-20-2704-20...

Everything I read and watch suggests checking for leaks at the fittings but beside Ivory mixed with water I have found no other suggestions. (approved solution-whatever that is) Worst case I can wait til the weekday and stop by my LWS. Or run to Safeway and get Ivory? Willing to wait but sure...

A few months ago I had a drip coming from the ceiling in my 3 rd bay. I have standing seam metal roof. No exposed fasteners. I figured the Fir trees did me dirt and I was the victim of a Fir needle dam. So I made my way up on the roof, after it was dry. Cleaned up the area where the 2 roofs...

as seen in this thread..... http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=273173 My house has a variety of water issues. The hammering is done with now. We put in a new pressure regulator and now the pressure is a steady 50 PSI. Was all over the place and much too high. What it didn't...

Running 3/4" lines and wondering what, if any, problems I might have if I use a 1/2" filter regulator near the compressor? Have a old Sears 1/2 that needs work. 3/4 is more expensive and harder to find. Thoughts welcome!

SOLD Essential tool for every garage/shop! Cool (patina, all that ****) old pop machine. Works but needs a key made for it. Use as is (w/key) or restore. I'm firm on price and figure due to size/weight local pick up.

I want to get rid of the old speedo in my wifes 66 Volvo 122S I need recommendations on which brand works well. I already know I'll need to fab a housing for it. I dislike the rectangle factory speedo plus it works like ****. I want a plain old round dial with a needle. No LED stuff. Likes...

While working on my slab on grade house I noticed black streaks coming from small holes on the slab. This was before/after removing floor tile. Whatever it was wiped up easily with a wet rag. However the charcoal type stuff remained in the holes. Dug out a couple. Still describe it charcoal...

Wondering about something that will flow into very small cracks as well as somewhat larger cracks? Using 2 different sealers is just fine with me. Just wondering what some have used. Not so interested in the 19 yo kid at the hardware stores opinion. No offence to you 19 yo's.:D My situation is...

Found some dry rot under my vinyl siding. I have a limited amount of access to the area where the flashing comes over the siding. I have a 15 x 15 skylight over my atrium and I really dont want to open the flashing up. Open a big can of worms. I'll tear off T1-11 that is (was) under vinyl. So...

My y pipe is complete. see http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=201476 Now where the pipe ends its looking right at the axle at full suspension droop. I will need to go under the axle so I am thinking about making oval so the exhaust looks clean and isn't hanging too far down...

Hoping for critiques of my cart or your own cart ideas. I'll post mine-you post yours. The more the merrier! :rocker: My homemade job is my 1st welding task. Poorly planned but fun while it lasted. It'll get duty as a cut of saw stand. I went cheap and brought home the HF cart. Right away I...

I have a area under my stairs that I keep my compressor. The stairs start in the unheated portion of my shop. I need to close it off to keep in what little heat I have. Anyone build there own? Note the unique opening. Ideas welcome.
