Can I be put on the list? I’m finally in the ‘decoration’ phase of my shop.

Since I knew I would be working solo, I started by building a safe working platform that I could roll around. I added pivoting supports with pool noodles at the top to hold the panels in place. I plan to reuse it again to rework the ceiling in my attached garage in the spring. Build it for...

Well I decided to rejoin you guys. A lot has happened, including two of my sons buying their first homes with garages. They have their distinct tastes, but we like to share ideas. Hopping to see them on here sometime.

As of today the box is on its way to will335i.

No reply since from drsung since Aug 5, multiple emails. I'm getting in contact with 'will335i". I had this box way too long.

The package was just delivered this afternoon. I plan to get it back out in the mail early in the week.

How about a small construction trailer or camper?An office shed seems like a big investment for such fast changing world. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Finally did the test on the black doner deck lid. Top picture is before and bottom is after. It did make the good clear coat really shine and brought the color back to the base, especially with the additional sealer wax application. At certain angles, the deteriorated clear coat seems to...

This sounds like the perfect opportunity to buy myself a new hammer. Not that I need an excuse. Doesn’t sound like theft to me, I wouldn’t get a co-worker riled up any reason in 2021. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I use the divide and cluster method. If too many yard tools are stored together in one location, they are difficult to control. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I picked up a polisher and some foam pads from HF as suggested. I also bought a deck lid from a guy 1 hour away for $10. Similar paint, era, but in a whole lot worse condition. My new plan is to get some experience on the donor paint first with a standard compound and wax, then experiment...

I have a 30+ year old factory paint job. It is still very nice, but has areas of clear-cost oxidation but no peeling yet. This car is garage stored, so I’m willing to jeopardize a bit more clear-coat removal for some shine. I have no automotive ‘detail’ experience other than occasional sponge...

Lifting with a jack. We raised the vehicle a few times my the rear diff and engine cradle with no issues. I was trying to heed all the warning, but had to get the project moving again. Thanks to all. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

So far from this thread I learned that there are deep sockets and there are semi-deep sockets. My current set is 3” so I picked up a set of 2-1/2” and they fit perfectly. Prior to this I removed the lower hinging tray. I used an assortment of plastic socket holders which rested on the base of...

Thanks for the quick reply’s. We are going to get it up and supported tonight. First order of business is to extract the rusted/rounded skit plate bolt, then remove the last rusted/rounded valve cover bolt so we can retap in a new spark plug. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal...

Thanks for the images. My conclusion is there is no under body or engine cradle points. With such limited points, I don’t see how I can jack this car up, and get stands under it at the same time. I’m more familiar with GM’s which have lots of options. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage...

Sticker shock when I saw the price of the 41” Extreme but I have to admit it’s 2x the storage of the Masterforce 26”. And I like the hidden compartment. Bottom line, I need something that holds a basic set of tools at least. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Helping my son with his Outback , and we can’t find any lifting location diagrams. Does anyone have a document? All I find is a lot of warnings online of where not to lift. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

After what I thought was careful consideration, I choose the Masterforce Triangle toolbox as the main location for my metric tool collection. Imagine my disappointment when I encounter interference between my deep sockets and the cover. There is no getting around this, I see no simple...
