Izzat a Miller remote TIG foot pedal? Regardless of any other possessions that either of us have, I am so jealous! Not that I haven't spent (more than...) my share on frivolous shop gear, I just can't bring myself for that coin (***** being a cheap squanderer, lol). Nice shop!

Not really a lift per se, but it is a new addition to the shop, and it does support a car (rated at 4500 Lbs)... Titan 4500. I'm stoked! Made short work of removing fifty-four (54) year old undercoating. Also painting the inside of the roof with Chassis Saver (a rust conversion coating).

Power to the PGS1! I used mine for exactly that purpose tonight (while sporting my fitted/molded ear plugs)! Staying on topic, mine occasionally acts intermittent too, and if opening/closing the valve abruptly a couple times doesn't wake it up, then I also disconnect/reconnect it to the air...

I would eventually, that picture was taken less than a month after relocating from Ohio to Florida. It took me over a month to get moved in, unpacked and set up to work again, considering the numerous aspects of moving in and unpacking the house took precedent ;) It would be another whole...

Okay, times up ;) Any pictures yet? That must be everyone's first__and lasting__impression! We never knew what we were missing, and it sure would be hard to go back to working without one. I think the biggest risk, at least for me, would be falling asleep once I got comfortable on the floor...

I put the back end of a car together today; mounted suspension carrier, trailing arms, new Koni shocks with billet mounts, springs and tugged in the axles/ Link to work album: http://spcarsplus.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/435

I've done a couple of magnesium wheels, the BBS was real nice, suggesting that it was cleaner__more pure__than the Ferrari wheel. I've also done a bunch of magnesium go-kart wheels (these 1960-61 McCulloch wheels were really cast of some trashy alloy). Welding magnesium is...

Well, after 5-1/2 years, that still hasn't happened; 76* in here right now. :willy_nil

What a shame to have lost all those build pictures! I sure hope that photobucket tanks for doing such a blunderous move. SMH

Exciting! But that house in the background, why is their grass white and not green...?

Last place I lived had a tandem garage layout, and an Eagle floorplate 2-post had only about 11" per side to spare. The ceiling height was 9'3" so the columns protruded about 1" to 1-1/2" into the space through the sheetrock/joist cavity. Working primarily on sportscars, I could get enough...

I was just going to say that ;) Nice thread about that build; endearing in immediately introducing (with pictures) the former owners, and the neighbor lady (RIP) that at least figuratively gave the green light to the construction project. Good job, ODIS!

Sheltered will have his own reasons, but I suspect__and I've been wrong before__it has to do with the length of the wheelbase for the vehicle(s) you're putting on it. For a relatively short wb front-engine//rear drive sportscar, the asymmetric is ideal; with a BMW M Coupe on the lift, both...

There's hardly a 2-post lift you can buy that's rated less than nine thousand pounds (9,000#), except for maybe those Max-Jack (sp?) portable lifts; I could understand, maybe even expect them to have a lower rating. Almost all lift brands use the max rating in the model number, in some fashion...

That's the way to do it, get 'em in, and get 'em up! Your life just got easier ;)

Well Chill, I subscribe to a little bit of both, but the short answer is yes, you're overthinking it ;) Though not as clean as I'd like it to be, I still refer to this as the clean garage (it has a house attached to it). I've done a little bit of work in it, but primarily it's just for...

I used to have the MM175 and at that time (2004) the local BMW dealership's bodyshop was using a MM135 (evolved to be the 140, same as my 175 became a 180__pre-autoset hoopla). I was sold on the Miller, because where I worked at the time had both (110V) Miller and Lincoln units, and the wire...

I *just* came in from painting the inside of a 2002 ///M Coupe's hatch, and the underside of the trunkfloor & new dual-ear differential mounts. Pics from yesterday, primed, sealed & textured, waiting for today's topcoats: The subject car, overall view

BIG difference from the first pictures on page 1 to the last pics on page 2! I need, not so much the motivation__but some of that__AND the time to de-clutter and organize my "dirty" (detached) garage; there's still stuff laying on the floor in the exact place it landed when I was unloading the...

Just looked at your car, very nice. Just looked at your garage, OMG, that's you! Kudos for making the best with what you have to work with; you've got more organization packed into your space than I could do with 10X as much. It's not what you got, it's how you use it!
