i dig it, very different..... i am hoping to finish up my 506 today, i think i am going with the bare metal look.....i hear its the "new black" lol.

i have all 3 of these as well as 3 of the standard pear shaped ratchets. i am extremely happy with all 6 ratchets, no complaints at all.

He is at his family's house out of state for Easter. Do rock island stationary vises have pointed mounting ears like parkers?

i thought possibly rock island, but it looks like the handle knob is more bulbous. that's what made me think athol or starrett, also the mounting points have a bit of a point to them. like i said i am puzzled.

from a buddy's shed. he is sending pictures of the other side next week. in the interim does anyone have any idea what make and model we have here? thanks in advance. from the looks of it i am thinking athol or starrett, not enough markings for prentiss?? not a parker because it doesnt...

great build, great planning. i am working on something similar, a bit more modular with 2 HF 44" boxes. plenty of ideas on this site. more pics once completed please.

its on rennlist, in the 996 turbo forum and vehicle marketplace forum, possibly a couple pages back by now. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/996-turbo-forum/810262-fs-2003-996-turbo-speed-yellow-black-int.html thanks, michael

in the first picture..... i have seen that "ball joint" type nut on the swivel of a few different vises. is that an original fastener, how does it work? pull up and swivel vise or turn to loosen and swivel vise?

another great rehab.... lots of these happening lately. great work jon jacobs!!

i think the timing on that particular box matters greatly. i purchased two of them, one in february with coupon for $369 and one in march with coupon for $349, they adjusted the february purchase for me as well when i made the march purchase.

grigg, that is a fantastic job. turned out nicely, for what looked pretty grim.

the determining factor is what product was used in the install. some vinyl manufacturers use different adhesives. i was fortunate enough that mine came off without a hitch, but i have heard of others not being able to get the adhesive off.

pulled the clear bra off "ole yeller". thought i was going to be in for a battle with adhesive removal and brittle vinyl. parked it the sun for an hour and peeled away, came off in one piece with little effort and no adhesive residue, i was shocked. car looks like it did the day it was...

nice job roma, you should post this in the "vises of garage journal" thread in this sub forum also.

it didnt take long for this thing to get disassembled and now a new project starts. everything came apart nicely, no damage to the jaws, swivel base or internals. i used "grease lightning" to get the years of lube stripped off. i must say it worked much better than i thought it would. i...

will do. thank you.

i agree 100%, looks much nicer and cleaner too. i would love it leave it bare. any issues with accelerated rust? or is just wiping it down with WD-40 or another solvent enough

cool, it seems pretty hefty. cant wait to get it cleaned up. thanks, i wasnt sure if i should have pulled the trigger or kept lurking on CL to find something else. a bird in the hand........etc. alright i will pick some of that stuff up today and give it a whirl. i have used regular paint...

ok, i can pick that up tomorrow. i wasnt sure it would be up to the task.

wow, i just got through that electolysis thread, i can see myself now with no eyebrows.... LOL. pretty interesting. i may give it a shot. i think i might track down some boric acid first and dunk it for a few days and see how that works. stay tuned.
