    What is this tool?

    it looks like a plastic repair tool that I used to use to reheat and remove creased bumper facia with. it's also a killer looking plastic welder too if you can find the correct plastic rods that go with it. does it have an adjustment on it for different heat settings? yeah air first ir the coils...

    spot weld cutter?

    I don't know if you have looked at my 66 dart thread , But after using one of the "good " expensive $35-50 Blair cutters and waiting forever on the tips to be shipped to me,after about 50 or so cuts(yes I used lubricating oil to help cutting and heat). I swapped over to the dreaded harbor...

    Steel shop question

    if you do the roll insulation/heat barrier the cost will be about 1500-2k or so total for a 30x40x12 added during construction. that insulation is 4 ft wide or so and in rolls of about 100ft and looks like bubble wrap that is white on one side and silvered on the other. it works ok, mid to...

    How much weight can I put on a car rotisserie?

    I have had a complete 66 dart convertible minus the rear end and bumpers on my rotisserie, at about 3k. yes it did have 1/4 inch tubing. I did find out that if you do not join the 2 ends it does a tilt in towards the car 1" even with everything stripped from it. once I joined it at the center...

    Garage Floor Paint

    I had forgotten all about that , I was surprised to see how thick the vapor barrier was when they poured my concrete, seems like my county wants 15 mill or better.(yeah what contractor is going better) And the stupid termite spray they required under concrete. the vapor barrier did make a...

    Garage Floor Paint

    Rustoleum was what I used on my floor. yep prep is key,that might be why it only lasted 6 months for you if you couldn't get the deep stuff out. one area on mine did not like it when I put the first coat down on mine and I had to use the muratic acid/water cleanup on that area to make it grab...

    Garage Floor Paint

    I did mine with the epoxy floor paint from "Lowes" I did buy extra flakes. it required 3 small kits to do my 30' x40' garage. it has never been as clean since I did it (or empty) :D I promptly filled it beyond capacity. it can chip and or scratch if you drop a cylinder head on it or drag an...

    Body carts. Have you built one?

    Yup I built one that the car body sits on, it's adjustable in width(19") and length(-12" to + 23"). It is a bit too high really and I am going to lower it about 8 inches to make it easier to get the center off the hood and trunk area. I don't like the all 4 corners swivel since it makes it...

    Painters booth question

    If I had it(money ) I would:D, summer the love bugs hit twice a year. mosquito's are a ***** all year. I have (3) 1 acre bug zappers going constantly due to the next door neighbor letting his pond go stagnant even though I do offer help when he is outside.. (ahhh he's old (93 or so) so I can...

    Painters booth question

    any type of heat will work. non flame is best. infra red works ok but will only heat up the object that it's pointed to. radiant IR works slightly better. all flame types work also but they have to be OUT when painting starts. (I turn off IR also) When I was up in Michigan and painting cars in...

    What type of blasting media do people use?

    crushed glass most everything but aluminum 45-60psi walnuts for aluminum 50-60psi black slag for the really grungy stuff like frames and suspension stuff. 60-80psi I use crushed glass also to clean up mildly dirty parts BUT I only use 45-60 psi since it turns pretty much to dust at 100psi...

    Removing swage wheel studs- Plan "B"

    if you ever have to do it again just flip them baby's over and drill the head off from the back. then just knock them out forwards. it won't hurt the hubs at all and is a lot easier then beating :violent1:the heck out of it and maybe bending it or enlarging the holes. I do know that if sometime...

It has lasted since 2003 till now but it has issues with stains from harsh chemicals I used and that purple PVC cleaner does not come out ever! it will chip...

    Minimum Air Compressor

    I've got an Eaton 2 stage pump and a good baldor motor (I forget the frame number but it's a great motor.) that flows 21cfm @125psi coupled to a 80 gallon tank. If I use my good DA or long board airfile I can run it quite a while before the compressor kicks on and fills the tank back up. BUT if...

    Need a blasting cabinet

    I have one of these also it isn't too bad after I hooked up the shop vac to it. I put 4 speaker magnets on the inside funnels to catch the metallic debris to save the media a little longer. that works GREAT! I also got a much better gun than the stocker that comes with the HF unit (it's junk...

    Really, really dumb socket question.

    actually not really a dumb question. if he's young enough or hasn't been into old American cars and has had or been around imports all the time that all that they use and he would have no reason to get SAE sockets. oh and he asked on the best website there is too!

    H F Sandblast Cabinet won't suck

    I had to put a vibrator on mine to get it to work reliably. But I hear that there is a replacement hose and gun kit out there that put's it in the great level. I've been looking for the post on it since I upgraded mine with the vibrator. I know the post about the gun/kit is out there but have...

    rotisserie pic's

    here's a couple of pic's of my rotisserie that I'm using for my dart (this is what you wanted right? Waggin) this really just shows the rotating side and locking mechanism. the other side just has the pivot and no lock look ma it's balanced. of course it would be a lot better if I put in the...

    my attempt at a spray booth (knockdown type)

    actually there will be 2 layers of plastic. (if you mean the plastic on the lights, I'll just replace it) but the plastic on the booth itself will be 2 different layers. 1. first layer regular 6 mill poly to seal the booth up. 2. the second will be painters plastic. that say's paint this side or...

    my attempt at a spray booth (knockdown type)

    thanks I just couldn't see renting the booth multiple times and just keep on paying and waiting for the booth to be open. since I'm not a pro painter I figure I'll have to use the booth a lot of times and the cost would have been wayyyyyy higher than what it cost to do this. and I have 2...
