Yup...use a piece of 2" or 3" pipe for gentle bends, it's not difficult and short pre flared tubing is economical.

check you tube video for EVOT14!

Astro Pneumatic also sell an LVLP gun.Good reviews and designed for smaller compressors. Another is Sprayit and Summit sell this LVLP spay gun under their name brand. Lots of videos on You tube!

Without a doubt...nothing better than a clean sheet of heavy duty cardboard!

You might be ahead of the curve with this slant six stuff Rusty. A few years ago a friend sold his slant six duster.He is a lifelong mopar guy....and I think it ran in the 13's. Said he loved shuttin' the v8's down with it!

Hand forged Draw knives and broad axes are very old. My mechanics tools are 60's and 70's so not too old.

i've had good luck with fine compound for buffing clear coat. Heat is your enemy so keep your pad damp

i have a high regard for our modern paints! Properly prepped they a re very hard, will last forever on a muscle car ( no snow or salt) and are easy to do yourself! As a side note i don't believe powder coating is allowed in the aircraft industry due to corrosion under the coating after time, but...

i am also a fan of the old Rockwell, Buffalo and Atlas cast originals.Such high quality. ...and i would rather have a really nice original piece rather than a perfect repop for my cars too.

I use a large sheet of cardboard !

i know guys that winter store 2 or 3 cars in tractor trailer trailers.I think they make sure the air can whistle right though small vents and the trailers are up on blocks. I don't think they do anything else but i'm not sure?

For the guys that know (not me) how much torque and hp will a 904 rebuilt to stock specs stand up to in a light a body with street tires?

i drilled and tapped my jack and bolt a plywood base with two 2 x 2's that cradle the pig and has a strap that secures it across the top.Roll it past the housing,line it up and pull it back in.Makes the install quite easy but you still have to get under there and finish things up though.

i have used evaporust a lot and the results are usually good.For large items i have mixed it 4:1 with water to get enough to completely submerge the part. I diid a complete engine block once...wish i taken some before and after pics as it turned out great,but took a few days with the diluted...

hacksaw and wax...very soft and easy to cut

LOL..you are so right.Mine is black like the trailer i just finished welding. ..if you must coat it i would just use a concrete paint,cheap and easy to touch up or re-coat....and you will!

..local car collector put his collection in a new metal quonset hut that he had built.A few days later he went out and every vehicle was soaked from the door handles down.He installed vents and a series of fans blowing along the walls progressively that solved his problem. we used to install...

you can make a heavy extension cord and just plug it in to your dryer outlet when you need it. Those little 4800 watt units work good and have a thermostat.

you will be fine if it is properly grounded. I love the old hand tools,usually better made with very hi quality steel

stainless steel is just any steel with nickel added.Nickel is not overly hard so it will be as hard as the parent steel. 1/4 turn clockwise followed by 1/2 turn back to clean your threads

i know lots of guys that use them and they are fine but have a few caveats. probably find them on e bay for 1200 - 1300 hundred and 500 - 600 used

one of my most used tools.I drill and tap most anything i build..even .100 and .125 thick mild steel ...so easy to thread and cast iron even easier. i often drill and re-thread one size bigger instead of heli coil. always chase threads to clean....a "must have tool"

i always sharpen by hand on my grinder...once in awhile i get lucky and get good results the first time.

gas pressure shields your weld ( liquid metal) from contamination the flux when heated produces a gas and does the same thing...just not as effective

i have a couple of friends with them. ....they are an economical alternative and seem to work fine

Don if you're just waxing, there are a ton of six inch polishers very inexpensive,i think mine is a Turtle wax cheapie and it works great for wax. If you expect to wet sand,cut and buff paint the above style is necessary.

still scraping undercoating today and when i tried to get up i was like a flipped turtle. i'm getting too old for this as well. you could consider a 4 or 5 foot scissor jack,they collapse to about 3 or 4",need no posts and are very reasonbly priced

..you might check with a few garages and find out who does the installations in your area. that company may have good used take outs available which they refurbish and will usually install quite reasonably.

..A long time ago when i was just starting out an older employee who's opinion i had a high regard for told me that unions would be the Death of our country. ...wonder what he meant? Rani is correct in what she says....the quality of Chinese products is getting better
