Where can I buy braded hoses like the ones on the compressors?
There is probley more but that is enough for now and they are not in any kinda order

That's a BIG list of stuff. You're gonna have to quit your job to get it all done!

Dang Jeff, with all that, you could make a lift off and head for the moon. LOL Too bad about the jig saw. When they go, they go big. Now a Ryobi wouldn't do that <snicker>. Install is looking good. You see I'm learning.... do you want to come and install mine when I get my Hyundai Santa Fe in July? LOL.

JacLynn

Craftsman jigsaws never let me down.

You gonna paint it in your shop too?? Better not let the EPA know about that!

Dang... EPA won't let me paint in my own garage? Crap, there goes my plan for painting my model planes... can I paint in my kitchen with the stove fan on? <jk> LOL

Aint to worried about EPA in Southern Louisiana!

They're everywhere man!! Watch out before the men in black come for you!!

most people cant even say my home town right neverthe less find it LOL !

its a nice feeling living in the middle of nowhere!
so i know the feeling.

me personally i love black and decker..
not the new black and decker..
but the old. my corded drill and my jigsaw is fully metal.
i've used new black and decker. there all plastic and built kinda odd.
and they go out fast. this being said, its the cheaper line up so i dont know how the mid and top quality B&D is. craftman is great also.

Yeah, B&D isn't like they used to be. My Dad has some of their old stuff, solid freakin steel, weighs a ton, and decades later still going strong.

then again what is built like it used to be anymore?

No kidding! I think the only things that have gotten better are some electronics like TVs and computers, otherwise most stuff is crap now.

I like old Craftsmen and NEW Kobalt cuase that is all I can afford! LOL

Kobalt is some nice stuff. It's not cheap either. You want CHEAP go to Harbor Freight. Surprisingly though, as cheap as their stuff is, it's pretty good. I have one of their rotary polishers still going strong 4 years later.

I wont buy anything michanical from harbor frieght but I will buy alot of the lower end stuff like bits, and wtrenches and such!

nice ride... doing all the work your self?

yeah I have done everything so far. alittle help here in there for the big stuff but I am always there with it!

whats the status on this beast?

not much but it looks like I will be working on it by August so hang around! MORE TO COME@@@

Well it is official that if I dont get the Car out my dads shop soon he is going to sell it!!! Everytime I talk to him he says something about it!!!
