    Orbital polisher feedback/recommendations?

    Just an FYI if this is the tool you are looking at. Milwaukee M18 FUEL 21mm Random Orbital Polisher The above unit has 8 RPM settings ranging from 2,400-4,500 RPM Maybe it is just me, but I use a much lower speed a good chunk of the time which is why I use a variable speed drive.

    Orbital polisher feedback/recommendations?

    I am still old school and use wool and various foam pads but with a light weight corded drive. I just don't feel the need to change what is working fine. But, if my corded unit goes TangoUnion then I would probably switch to a battery operated drive as long as the balance is where I want it...

    Paint Gun And Compressor Questions

    Looks like that compressor can do 4.5 CFM @ 90 psi but it won't dow too much better at a lower psi. Maybe 5.1 at 40psi, but you would need to get the actual numbers from Lowes/Cobalt. An inexpensive HF Central Pneumatic will require 6 CFM at 40 psi so it looks like you a little short for...

    Rotisserie opinions , please.

    I like this one. probably because it is the one I purchased and use. I can't compare it to anything else since this is the only one I have used. It does what I want/need it to do and didn't break the bank. It is the Redline Stands ROT 3000 LD as seen in my restoration thread "73 Roadrunner...

    Work Benches

    "rmchrgr" I see you have LISTA cabinets under that bench. The only way I could afford those is if my work let me take them out the gate. They are the best cabinets I have seen both in looks and in function.

    GARAGE HEAT HELP

    This is what I use for a two car garage with an 11 1/2 foot ceiling. Does just fine controlling at 65 degrees. I can bump up to 70 degrees but then the meter starts to spin a little too much for my wallet. Only thing is that it is 220, other than that just plug and play. Got it at Menards...

    Lessons in patience to me

    F4U Corsairs were manufactured by Vought, in 16 separate models, and has the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history (1942–53). Had a rocky start but ended up being one of the greatest!!!!!

    What is this tool?

    Last set of books I had to use and didn't plan on opening a code book again. With the way this election might go, I may have to sell the house (while the selling is good) and build a smaller one with the proceeds. In that case, I will have to buy a 2020 book. I used to know all the inspectors...

    Little trick, for what it is worth!

    So I needed to soak this part in evapo-rust but I did not have enough to fill the container. Okay, not this exact part but the one from the other side. So I put the part in a zip lock baggie and poured in some evapo-rust then I put the baggie into the plastic container. It does not have to...

    Whirly Jig rotisserie...

    You are only partially correct. The car was perfectly balanced at the start of the restoration. Then the parts started coming off, hood, trunk lid, doors, fenders, all the interior panels, glass, etc. Each item changed the center of mass slightly. Yes, I can still spin it by myself but I am...

    Whirly Jig rotisserie...

    I have a Redline ROT 3000 LD and I love it. I got it over the RTS 3000 because I wanted the anti-tip legs. Now that I have used this for several months I can tell you there is almost no chance of tipping the unit. Sooooo, if I had to do it again I would spend the extra money and get the RTS...

    car rotisserie for B body

    QOTHL Plastic off the section you want to work in. There is even a zipper that attaches to the plastic to let you in and out without a problem. Use 6 mil plastic for the zipper to work right. We do this all the time when sanding drywall and it doesn't get much dustier than that. That ****...

    "Ah the RTS3000, it has a lots of options!!! it has b body leaf spring mounts? i like the off road casters but, for $500 the seller is making boat payments. def looking at this." Yup, I thought the road casters were on the $$$$$$ side of things. Could always add a set of HF road casters if...

    cdoublejj, Straying little from your original question but addressing what you are trying to do with the coilover. Not sure if you have seen this. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/mopar-a-body-coilover-conversion-reilly-motorsports-alterktion/

    car rotisserie for B body

    cdoublejj, If you are like me, I don't have room or the $$$$ for a frame jig and a rotisserie. Yes, it would be best to have a frame jig to replace the items you mentioned (underfloor frames rails and torq boxes etc etc) but it is not the only way. If your plan is take the car down to the...

    cdoublejj, Check out post #85 on "73 Roadrunner 340 Auto" for the rotisserie I purchased and the one I probably should have purchased. Good Luck on your project.
