Dont feel bad, Ive seen (and owned) VEHICLES with frames that flexed that bad!

You are in just about the same boat as me. And want just about the same thing as me. First off, I have a two acre yard. But I would think this would apply to anybody wanting to run a lift, GOOD Mig welder, and a large compressor. I am figuring about three to four grand for the welder and...

I had always thought starrett was the cats meow. I was wrong. I always though Mitutoyo was junk. Again I was wrong. I just bought a Mitutoyo dial bore indicator to go with my safe queen tools. Check out this site. http://longislandindicator.com/ LOTS of info. I decided on going with a...

I use this for most smaller stuff like intake bolts and water pump bolts: http://www.seekonk.com/prod-24-1-105/.htm And a beam type for heads, main bolts and other larger stuff. Also, best to torque rod bolts by bolt stretch if possible.

I want to get one, but its gonna have to be used. Cant afford a new one. Not gonna pay for a new one if I did have the money. What is the difference between a 452 B and a 452 E? Is there anything I should look for or watch out for when getting one? I will most likely get it online so I wont...

While I wouldnt use it for commercial use, for my needs the one from Harbor Freight works great. I do alot of soldering of heavy stuff on cars and guitar amps. Now my IRON that I want is a weller adjustable. It does alot of stuff that I really need the high quality soldering iron for. I...

I like the Kobalt tools at lowes, simply because its close to my house and you can get individual sockets for cheap. I also have their hollow ground screwdriver bit set with the driver, and its excellent. Best tool I have for my pistols and rifles. Great for car interiors also. Their spline...

Here is my rig. I have an orange 20 watt weller, and a handfull of new tips. Using a tip once its worn out kills irons. For large stuff, I went to harbor freight and got a soldering gun for twenty bucks. Use that for the heavier stuff that doesnt allow the small gun to heat up the metal...

OK, I need a Mig welder. I dont know how to tig and dont really need it at the moment. What I am going to be doing is welding in subframe connectors, floorpans, suspension gussets. That sort of thing. If I need a good strong weld, I plan on tacking and then bringing to a welding shop to do...

I like those old chrome craftsman lights. The ones with the gold letters on the back. I dont like adjustable time back lights. I prefer a tach with alligator clips for a quick hookup under the hood, more uses with that. And the cheap sams timing mark mod on the balancer with a sharpie or...

OH YEA, and I aint picking on short people either. How many of you six footers have been hit by a MSD with an ACCELL coil and got a good two or three licks to the noggin on the hood?

Here is another solution. Maybe after the Zumba?

My main squeeze is 5'1", Im 6 foot. She is in on the summer project of getting the ole dart on the road. I can finally get her in some heels! Cool! All joking aside, you can let the air out the tires if your gonna be working on it awhile and have a compressor. Itll make some difference. OR...

There are some things to consider when buying a creeper other than the build quality and brand. What surface are you going to be working on? Crummy surface with lots of uneven edges and such, you dont want a creeper with small casters. Dogbone creepers are pretty good for this one, at least...

I dont think craftsman makes that top box anymore. If its not rollerbearing I dont think they make it. I know the non roller one was a beast. It was a good box that my friend used working on heavy equipment. When I was working for John Deere you couldnt have an expensive box to carry out in...

I saw on another forum where they had this huge thread on vintage toolbox pics. It was really cool. I just scored a Kennedy Kit 260 box in near mint shape to build my set (Last one was stolen:(). So how about some pics of everybodies toolboxes!
