    Metal roofs, who has done one?

    I did on my house and the shop building. Using the strips under the metal greatly reduces the noise from rain or hail. I think they are great as long as your building is insulated. I won't do another "normal" roof.

    4-Post Lift recommendations

    It's the hood on my 1970 Olds 442 W-30 (clone). The lift has been great, use it almost everyday. I bought it at the 2014 Meacum Auction in Kissimmee, FL where I bought the W-30. With everything, including the air jack it was around $3k.

    Price is not bad, I just put in a 2,500 gallon tank since our lake is near empty. I did all the work; running electric, lines and pump.

    Do you leave your compressor on?

    I put a ball valve in the line before my filter and use it to cut it on or off. I always leave it on and when the valve is closed the compressor never runs.
