Back in the early 80's i worked for a company who's owner had 17 57 Chevrolets. He had 2 guys that worked on his collector cars only. One of them Bill handled all the parts for these cars and bought tons of NOS parts for them. Bill in the late 70's went thru and bought all the parts inventory...

PSU goat, loved your response to my post! Way to stick to your guns. Funny how personalities and cars go together. My tastes range all over the place, my second favorite car i own is a 1966 426 hemi Satellite. I guess that means i have multiple personalities. As far as your goat is concerned you...

PSU goat, sorry to be critical but you must have sunk alota cash in that goat. I bought an 08 Z06 instead. I was not a big corvette fan but, 3,130lbs. and 505hp was a very applealing combination. 427ci didn't hurt either. hemi

motofixxer, I am curious, with the steel siding ceiling you installed is there any issue with condensation forming on the underside/truss side of the steel panels ? Thanks hemi.

I have a 32 x 72 pole barn in northern ohio with cold winters. I installed radiant heat and poured 5" concrete floor over 8"compacted gravel mix. Around the inside perimeter gravel pad was tapered down so the concrete is a foot thick around the perimeter. The concrete was poured around the 6 x 6...

CHRIS, Do you still have the Z. hemi

pics, pics, and more pics please !!! mmotch

I thought about the stick on stair tread strips, but they work well with rubber soled shoes not super smooth concrete. hemi

I made a set (4) of ramps out of 2" x 12"s to get a late model corvette high enough off the ground to then use a low profile floor jack to lift the car properly. Each ramp is 4 foot long with a 2 foot long piece stacked on top and screwed together. The leading edge of each is cut on a 30 degree...

Thanks dwilliams563 for your practiced knowledge on this question !!!! I had concerns about a standard wood cutting circular saw because of the rpm's they run. The expensive metal cutting circular saws run about 25% slower, but maybe thats just to increase torque (through gearing) as apposed to...

I scrounged a dozen 4' x 16' (.060" thick) sheets of polished diamond plate aluminum at scrap value to run around the perimeter of my pole barn walls and I want to cut them down to 2' x 16'. What is the best way to cut this material without distortion and hopefully straight? A metal cutting...

wayoff, I used a product called "The Barrier" on my 32 x 72 polebarn. It is a 3/8" thick extruded poly W/vapor barrier on both sides. It does not compress like the 2" foam board which I used around the perimeter. The product "the Barrier" is made by a company Northwest Ohio Foam Packaging. Try...

On my 32 x 72 polebarn, I investigated foam and found it was as you found very expensive. Instead I went with a Johns Manville process called "spider". Its a spay in fiberglass insulation for vertical walls. Don't think it will work on the ceiling though. hemi

This is kinda late to respond, but better late than not at all. I have a 32 x 72 foot polebarn with hydronic radiant heat had to go with electric power. At the time I was doing my homework on the issue I thought a tankless electric water heater was the ticket, but several sources told me I would...

GN87, You may want to investigate a radiant barrier paint made by Sherwin Williams co. This paint is specifically made to be applied to the underneath side of osb/plywood roof sheathing. It reflects the radiant heat before it gets to the attic. The paint is sold under the name E-Barrier paint...

djjack, my bees are ten pounders and they wear a MASK!! Actually they are racoons and they are attacted to the blinking security light on the top of the dash of my 2004 Ford exploder. Little suckers crawl all over the vehicle and thankfully damage has been minimal. I figured I would handle the...

floor looks good, what is it ?

Reflexx, thought you might like my .002 worth. No matter what you are painting ie. cars, boats, planes, machinery, ect....... if you are going to buy spray equipment and mix your own paint use a brand name paint system by one manufacturer. For instance applying PPG paint over Dupont primer may...

tubeman, try hutchins brand DA sander and you will be more than impressed with their design and execution. The definition of a quality air tool! hemi......

Darn ! Reflexx, just when things were getting interesting, bam, got PMed. " :dunno: " see ya,, hemi
