    Solar LED's to light up yard art?

    I have an old car(Nash Metro) as yard art in front of my shop. Would like to devise a way to light up the head and tail lights with a soft glow. Needs to be solar powered as no electric nearby. Would basically need some small LED's I could insert into each light. Any ideas how I could do this...

    Air lines.. what are you using?

    Had PVC for 17 years, no issues, but re-designed my air system routing and used iron pipe. That works fine as well.

    I can't comment on the vacuum, but thanks for posting this! Looking forward to seeing the finished product and your results! I do auto restoration/hotrods and could really use a setup like this.

    Well tank air PSI?

    So does the tank have to be empty to set the air pressure? Obviously the air pressure changes as the water pressure increases/decreases.

    Well tank air PSI?

    My well tank has a valve where you can check/add air to the bladder. It has a tag that says "air pressure should be 2 PSI below pump start up pressure". So is this measured AT pump startup, or after it shuts off?

    Bendpak 4 post engine hoist attachment...?

    I pulled the engine out of my F250 using a chain hooked to the end beam of mine. It is the HD9xlt though, so it goes pretty high

    do you have a bendpak with a different jack?

    This is my redneck solution......a piece of 3 1/2" glue lam about 18" wide. Slides on the jack rails and sets level with the ramps. Works great so I made a second,

    Selecting a 4 post lift width

    I have the Bendpak 9k narrow-long-tall.....can't remember the model #. I got it because it takes up much less room width wise. Most vehicles fit fine, my 79 F250 goes on easy if you fold in the mirrors. I highly recommend getting the longer one if you can.

    38"-39.5" Drip Pans for a 4 post lift, what might you have/use?

    I just use a big piece of cardboard for oil drips. Oil soaks into it....toss it after a while and start over with a new piece.

    Can you "Wash" glass bead blast media?

    I save all my used up blast cabinet media and run it through my pressure blaster(outside). At least i get one more use from it. Simpler to replace it than screen it....for me anyways.

    Air locks on BendPak

    I run a hose overhead as well. One less thing to trip over. That said, to me the air locks are a PIA. I would prefer manual locks...

    Outdoor Compressor Hutch/lean-too/shed

    1 side open is good. Maybe install a couple louvered vents in the opposite wall for some cross ventilation? Also check your air intake filters often.

    Car Restoration Shop Doors?

    I have 2 foot overhangs on my shop and it helps keep the snow from piling up against the walls. However, if the whole roof slides (metal roof), It will make a 2-3 foot high berm of packed snow that you'd be lucky to move with a bulldozer. Gable end doors for me...
