    Cleaning & Painting 1957 Triumph Tr3 project

    Thanks for the warning about the body. I have the body cleaned already but needs some more panel replacement! The shop here I have talked to is a bit pricey, I am sure a lot of that is the area I live in.

    Common sense with buying and selling on CL and such

    +1 for meeting away from the home! I am a big guy too but I would rather not give anyone a reason to start snooping around. That being said I have purchased items and went to pick up at people's homes, never thought twice about it.

    Blast media stuff

    Wow so picked up some fine material and switched it out, spent most of my lunch cleaning parts.....two things I will need, a shower and more dusk masks. Does a great job cleaning up stuff but messy as he&* . I dialed it down to about 80 psi and that seem to pick up and run fine. I love the fact...

    Ok so I am relatively new to this repair vise thread so my question was how to find the proper base to replace this one! The number I referenced was stamped on the current base around the outer ring. I tried to search for a part number that might fit this current size vise but did not find any...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Thanks for the advise, it is kind of not the priority at the moment. I do believe it should have some kind of service plate on the end to cover the screw, it is missing.
