I picked up this one from a friend to help clean up! It is a beast Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will need some repair on the frame which I believe to be 16 gauge and then moving to the body panels which is 20 gauge! I am not to concerned about how beautiful it is as compared to making sure the welds will hold. I am trying to resurrect a family ride passed down, to keep the memory alive...

So thanks for everyone chiming in, I have played with the settings and still not having any luck. Also just as a test I took some of the Same gauge metal I need in to work to try a different machine. I was able to run a pretty nice bead, not the straightest but good penetration. So bottom line...

So I have a project and I am a novice welder. I picked up a northern tool welder but it is limited in what it can do, mig unit with 2 power settings, variable wire speed and no gas! I am trying to find a hobby welder better suited to what I am doing. So it is a car restoration and the gauges of...

That looks great. it appears that your garage is well insulated also. I think it is easier to get motivated for projects if you are warm & toasty! JP

So I finally settled on a small 4800 watt forced hot air heater, that was part of our car club, for a member cleaning out his garage space. I had to do some electrical work to change out the plug to match the plug on the heater, it is the 220-240 volt style. After doing so I managed to get it up...

This is the one I have and I am pleased so far. http://www.northshorecommercialdoor.com/li85wamogado.html

Wow that is a great design and the progress is coming along nicely.

So today my helper gave me some final resolution to extra support on the center section of the lift. So here he is with expert cordless drill handling skills. Of course we had to make sure it would bear weight! The next step was to unclutter the current Tr3 frame and to decide what was going...

Not sure of the ceiling height but notice that the door openers are the center mount old style design. Any reason why you would not go with a side mount option for the door opener. It frees up the space in the center for loft storage or in my case a nice 4 post lift for the car. Nice lightning...

So I picked up a couple of the Hansen trays, they are very nice/ Where do you recommend going to pick up individual sockets. I am missing a few.

Ok well I guess that is one way to look at it! Thanks for that

Not an option right now without destroying a lot of drywall and running another circuit

So here is the solution I used after all the suggestions. Pulled the angled plug from the outlet ran through a cord protector over to the lift where the motor is....used some mouthing pads and zip ties to make it neat. Ran fine until the heater kicked on, then the breaker tripped. Replaced one...

Ok so I learned a lot about the electrical code from the posts and I think I have a plan of action. Friday will be a day off work so I can concentrate and get the material to make a connection. The lift is really not going to be operated very much until the projects get a little farther along. I...

Actually this may do the trick! Just need to run by and see if they have it in my local store! Thanks for the link

Dunno about pics...everything I posted is still showing up. I have the right circuit and rated outlet is correct. I guess I just need to build a cord for the connection between the two is all. Friday I am hitting the supply house to get it finished up.

No my issue is with finding a 20 amp rated cord to connect from the outlet(which is 20amp rated) and connecting to the current plug for the motor. it is a standard 110 plug. I can find a lot of 15 amp rated cords but nothing 20 amp rated. I guess I may have to go to an electrical supply house...

Is your project all complete now??

Want to go with an angled plug up against the wall and use a cord cover across the floor then connect to the plug shown, the tag shows the motor information.
