    Garage workshop setup

    customer? you are a pilot; your customers are passengers. seriously though, i'd like to do some work on the side too. after much research, i have decided to base the whole organization system off of 2 long french cleats that will run the length of the garage. one cleat will be near the...

    Garage workshop setup

    Thanks Kurt. I'm sure i'll end up with something more like your setup than the others. I am also a cheap person. The big difference for me will be the floor and painting the wood stuff to make it fit in more with the color scheme of silver and black. FWIW, mine is at the same time more...

    Garage workshop setup

    Kurt, at this point, I'm more interested in how to organize it than how clean and tidy it is. If you are willing to share some pics of how yours is organized, I promise not to comment if the floor is not spotless. :)

    Simple compressor questions

    i had a $35 gift card from sears, so i got a 50' rubber hose and a hose reel. and it's made in america. it is so much more flexible than the pvc stuff, it's like night and day. my dislike for chinese junk is growing. i just had a kenmore microwave give up the ghost on me last weekend. the thing...

    Extra breather necessary?

    sorry, a couple other questions .... is the catch can an oil separator? or what does the can catch? how does air flow through that system? is the catch can vented? how effective is that kind of setup for alleviating crankcase pressure buildup? as i said, i can be kinda dense sometimes ... :lol:

    Extra breather necessary?

    sorry, i'm confused about this (i can be kinda dense sometimes) ... is the "catch can" an oil separator? is it just connecting the 2 valve covers to the catch can? is there no manifold vacuum applied? i'm thinking about a setup like that for my fairlane.

    Convert to Roller Block

    http://www.summitracing.com/search/Part-Type/Lifters/Lifter-Link-Bars-Included/Yes/ There is a bar between each pair linking them together, which keeps them from twisting. here is what they look like: The Comp ones are still over $500, but other folks make them for less. I cannot vouch for...

    Convert to Roller Block

    Great idea Rick LMAO! Psycho, someone has committed to buying it, and he has started paying for it, so hopefully it will be sold by the summer. Mine isn't a roller either. I went with the spider conversion because back then, the cost for the link bar lifters was over $500, and my cam doesn't...

    LOL, I made the jealousy comment mostly for levity. It sounds like you are in a similar phase of life as me ... I'm 51 now and the kids are both finally off to college, so I finally am starting to have time to do some of the things I have wanted to do for a long time. The colleges are limiting...

    Convert to Roller Block

    link bar lifters. either that or the spider hold down link bars are more recommended because they support a higher cam lobe lift

    Garage workshop setup

    I am having a hard time deciding you to organize my garage shop. It is a pretty big garage, and it does have alot of stuff in it, but i have about 1/3 of cleared out for a workshop area. How did you guys setup your workshop space? I need some ideas.
