garage finally coming together.

im planning on getting a welder as well. one was in the paper the other day....a hobart 135, for a sweet price...called the next day....already gone......with the quickness.

 

piped in my compressor last night. one trip to lowes......no measuring or anything...all guesswork. and i all fit right up. talk about all time lucky???? fired it up tonight,ran it for 30 minutes with valves open for break in.....then closed the valves....only took about 5 minutes or so to fill up and cut out. now....i gotta get/install/wire the overhead lights, then im ready to go.(besides the cleaning up/straightening up in there)

 

Very cool. It took me two or three trips with lots of measuring and over planning. I think if I'd shot from the hip I could have gotten it in one try and just had some extra pipe. Hah. I was just glad when it was done!

 

me and my buddy got my work station/bench area set up a lil while ago.



i plan on working on carburetors and such there...and hang my dewalt and craftsman battery chargers there.

 

Sweet

 

very nice

 

hopefully....if the weather aint super shity this weekend....im gonna go ahead and get and install my 8 foot high outputs.

 

I thought the garage was heated?

 

yeah....i got the wood stove and a space heater......but the garage isnt insulated....so it takes a while for it to warm up. im still gonna do it if the waether is shitty....but reason i said that is because my father in law is awesome electrician, but he lives half an hour away....and i aint gonna have him drive down if the roads are bad.

 

nice wish i had that much space in my garage

 

just ordered a clamshell type spring compressor for the garage....and went and got my 8 foot highoutputs earlier tonight.......gonna install and wire them this weekend.

 

that garage is awesome man! great job! wish i could make the mod day but probably about a 4 hour ride for me but yall have fun

 

harbor freight.

i know,i know....they have some cheap tools, but this one was recommended and the price was right. the wifey wouldnt let me buy the $700 wall mont one i wanted.

here is the one i ordered........which shouldbe good for occasional use....

 

thanks man........and 4 hours is short time........a dude is coming all the way from washington(he wheels down this way too...but thats a helluva drive).

 

how far are you from charlotte? im outside raleigh and it takes 3 to 4 hours to get there depending on traffic and how fast you drive.

 

from here to charlotte takes me about 45 minutes........i work on this side of charlotte,right outside belmont.

 

when i get it, i'll do a few test runs with it and let ya know how it goes. other clamshells i have seen are alot more expensive...prolly better built too, but even this one i think will be better than the standard kind. ive seen those fly apart before.......aint fun.

 

just mapquested it with your addy from the other thread and its 3hours and 50 minutes for me so not sure i can make it, and dont think the wife would let me anyways. plus dont now my schedule at work yet.

 

ah well.....maybe one day. you can always come to the uwharrie meet when we have them tho.......its in troy,nc.

 

yeah the wife and i went to rockvember but i still had my jeep then. now i got my 1st gen and happy as hell, but its a stock dc sr5 4x4. just started with firestone about a month ago and got my tires picked out and get them for a hell of a deal. im going to go with 265/75/16 destination mts and get them for $506. but i need my billies first.
