I'd love a walk-in blasting booth. Imagine all of the fun...lol. Fantastic work as always. :)

Today I picked up where I left off on the rear panel. Getting old paint out of the seams is a must for me. If you see a box that has gone through a respray, it will be immediately apparent if this step was not done. I have a lot of these little places to clean out so I dragged out my assortment...

That's a fine question. I use the battery/drill setup for practical reasons, not performance. My air tools work just as well as the battery setup and vice versa. Here are the main drivers behind my choice to use battery power: A) I don't have an air hose long enough to reach the area outside...

The dog decided that 3am was the appropriate wake up time today and she was not taking no for an answer. After a proper piss and a nice breakfast, she resumed her nightly sleep but I was up for good. I decided to use this as an opportunity to put some time into the rover. Since it was pitch...

It sure feels that way at times. lol

Gadzooks! This thing has been abused! General age, late 30s-early 40s. Value? Scrap wholesale pricing. The dynamic jaw face is gone and the slide was used as an anvil. Given the extreme amount of exterior damage, I'd certainly inspect the main nut inside of the vise body. There's a good chance...
