how wide is your garage door? Wide enough to roll a 4 post out the door on casters? If so, that might let you work on a car in the driveway, weather permitting, of course

True - two stacked might be a good option as well, though I like the idea of sticking them under the 10' maple bench. In reality, two of these is probably overkill for me at the moment. The storage in one would be sufficient for my needs. Similarly, the HF unit would also probably handle...

After posting last night, I'm thinking I may actually return the top cabinet and buy another base, provided there is still one left. The base should provide more storage for the $ and I'm thinking I could make a nice big bench using two of them. I have a few 1.5"x48"x60" maple table tops. I...

Bumping this back up for anyone interested. I visited Lowe's last week and found the lower 35" cabinet was marked down to $276. I almost bought one, but saw the upper was still $500 and I didn't want to spend that money (or end up with just the lower). Fast forward to today and I am at Lowe's...

Is the Porsche consider a "thing that moves"? It's okay to love your car. Just don't LOVE your car!

Same as ddawg16 though I have used trim screws on occasion, which aren't too bad to fill (square drive with small heads).

:lol_hitti :thumbup:

I like the sounds of the GTI project! I've wasted a lot of my time on the vortex over the years, though the last 6 months or so I really haven't been on much at all. I'm trying to get the inside of my garage buttoned up so I can get back to the coupe. My garage looks about like yours does...

I'm with you on the never-ending project car. My coupe is slowly getting closer to road worthiness, though I don't expect it to hit the road right away this spring. I have a supercharged ABA in it which I am in the process of adding an air/water intercooler setup to (built into the intake...

This was the option I was going to suggest. Don't you have room between two joists/trusses to fit the post in the ceiling? Personally, I would just bolt the MaxJax down and get to using it. I'm sure you can find documentation somewhere about concrete fillers that will be stronger than the...

Not sure on the ceiling, but I like your golf and mini!

with other lifts that might be of concern, but I wouldn't think twice about it with a mohawk, provided the concrete is up to spec. the concrete would likely fail long before those beefy columns/bases. Hilld - good move on the truck adapters. I assumed you might have it figured out. I'm...

I think you're missing the point of my post. Do I think PEX is the right choice for air lines? No. But if you're going to use it wouldn't it make sense to heed the basic manufacturers warning that it shouldn't be exposed to UV rays?

Is there a truck adapter (frame cradle) offered by Mohawk? The flat pads don't look like the safest option if you're really wrenching on it. Everything else looks great! I'd love to pickup a Mohawk, especially since their facility is located about 25 miles from my house here in NY.....

I did my whole house in pex, including radiant in the floors. I'm not sure if I would use it in the garage for air or not, but if you do I would plan to cover it so it isn't exposed to UV rays. They do state that as a weakness, so it would be worth a few bucks to get the sleeve material you...

I saw a post a while back (I think it was on the GJ) about quieting compressor sound in a manner similar to this. It was more complex, having several turns and maybe some sound deadening material inside as well, but I believe the end result was good.

On a similar note you can also use a thermostat controlled duct fan, which is what I was considering. I think they're around $30 and you can set the temp, and they can be inline with the duct fan power so you don't have to hard-wire anything. I'm planning to add a small "room" to the back of...

this is a 36x60 from another member that I just found in a search. It's pretty close to what I had in mind. Mine would also have the outlets, receiver(s), etc and probably expanded metal beneath.

I thought the same about Miller's 30x60 table. I love the idea of holes/slots in it for clamping, too. I won't be doing that now, but at some point I would like to borrow my friend's mag drill and put a pattern in the top. Any reason to go thicker than 1/2" if I plan on doing that (holes in...

As far as lifting the heavy top onto the table, I figured I would move the plate right from the back of my truck onto the base, so it'd be more sliding into place vs lifting. I do have an engine hoist I could use if need be.
