    THE BEST hand degreaser?

    How did that work? Years ago I worked with someone who's father was a mechanic and was having skin problems. His doctor told him to use Crisco. IIRC, the coworker said it worked good.

    The shop kitchen...

    What about building the whole thing into a closet. You could build doors to make it as tight as you want. Since you are using propane, what about a RV stove? Leave an opening underneath for the stool? Get a microwave that goes over the stove? Small bar sink? Maybe even a granite counter...

    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    A Harbor Frieght 41" top box for $87.57?

    That seems like a good price, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't compare to their regular 41" top chest 92099-1VGA. Different dimensions, different capacity. I really want two of their 41" roller cabinets, but that's because I've checked them out in the store. It will be interesting to see what...

    How do you arrange your tools?

    I just scatter it all over the garage. Then when I want something I just have to make several laps, get pi**ed:mad:, say how I need to clean the place up, then go back in the house, beat the wife, screw the dog. Uhm, what were we talking about?:confused:

    Tips for going to a pick n pull?

    What tools to take is probably your biggest question. If I'm only going for something specific, I might just take whatever is needed to get that part, but a lot of times what I take will take a larger box just because I never know what I might find that I need. My local PNP has wheelbarrows...

    Bench Sander Question/Advice

    I have the 6x48/9" belt/disc combo. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=6852 It's not really a bench top, but I've been happy with it. I think I got it on sale for $159 and plus used the 20% coupon. When the belts start to wear out, I can bog/stall it pretty...

    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    Nice catch on the light. Thanks for noticing:) I think a 2wd would be great, full convertible would make it even better. Is it factory or was it converted from 4wd. I think I've only seen, maybe, 3-4 2wd's through the years. Brett

    Hot Rod sound deading?

    I just saw on another forum about "Peel and Seal" from Home Depot or Lowes. It sounds like it is more like dynamat. http://www.planet4x4.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13461

    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    Well, it's still not done. I am getting closer though. I put off any work on the garage to concentrate. Maybe it'll be done after next winter:lol_hitti I'll have to roll it out for some pics. I've got it started, still no driveshafts. Most of the cage is tacked in place and the seat mounts...

    Yard sale J-tools

    I picked up a box of J tools at a yard sale awhile back, but I haven't been able to reference the uses for them. I believe several are for 700r4's. Oh, the price? $15 bucks for the box. Brett J-tools 3387-4 4260-14 or 1957 ? 4274 4869 5190 5589 5749 5768 5778 6217 8345 8346-2 8360-1 8366-1...

    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    Not doing so good on the blazer. I've got to get going on some cabinets. I've got such a mess with boxes, I can't find half my tools and can hardly move around. I have started cutting up the front fenders, but that is about it. Got to get moving if it's going to be trail ready by mid June. I...

    Painting the inside of the garage door

    A sign shop near my old house used to have a mural on their garage door that looked like a Nascar garage with multiple cars and whatnot. It was really cool. You might check into having something like that done, but the price might deter you. Depending on what you want, how about using a...

    Winter project - K5 Blazer

    People use the 56" GM, 57" Ford and 63" GM springs to increase flex. I used the 56 because it is what I had and by flipping them around I gained the extra wheelbase that I wanted. With the 52" swap in the front, I have gained a total of about 6", putting me at 114". Moving the axle back also...

    Yes, I just turned them around since the 56" springs have an offset center pin.
