    Great idea but I have to question the adjustability of the set up. Pretty static top and bottom. What happens if you're off by .5" or more? How do you adjust the drive train or car? Sorry, just noticed your "wise ***" comment. I'm getting slower these days. :BangHead:

    Built mine off of Beekeeper's design and material list for about $250. Even with the mods. When all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail. If you have a welder everything is whatever the **** you want it to be. I think USCT fucked up in not realizing that most people that build cars know...

    I copied BeeKeepers design. I did make a couple of mods. Worked flawlessly.

    Best Cordless Impact?

    Good choice. Be careful with it. I have the 1/2" Fuel. Bolt breaking ************* and I don't mean breaking loose. Setting 2 when tightening things is around 300 pounds. Setting 3 breaks ****. The bigger the battery in it the better.

    OPINIONS ON GARAGE INSULATION???

    I think 8stack pretty much answered that question in post #9. No such thing as too much wiring. Looking good. I'm fiberglass bat fan myself for the reasons stated above. My shop is R19 in the walls and R60 in the ceiling. I'm in Colorado where it get's to 100 degrees in the summer and 10 below...

    Got the Classic Backyard Buddy 4 post lift installed today...

    What lift is that in the pic Dad? I'm 6' and my shop ceiling is 10'1". Hate laying on my back but don't like killing a bay for a lift either

    I'm sure that works just fine if you're 5' 1" tall. :poke:

    Is it just me or do led work lights suck?

    I use a rechargeable LED headlamp for working on the cars. Love it. I have been slowly replacing everything at the compound with LEDs since the price for them came way down. I'm an old guy and I love them.

    Just bought a Milwaukee 2" sander/polisher

    I must admit I am a member of the Red Army. I have a bank of 6 chargers in the shop with a range of battery sizes to supply all the tools. You can't go wrong with them in my opinion.

    New to me USA Made Vise

    SCORE! Nice acquisition. Vices are one of my vices. I have five mounted throughout the shop. Vices are kind of like beer which is another vice. You can never have too many! Probably the single most used tool in my shop.

    How to get leverage on this shallow bolt head?

    Cut, destroy, obliterate the fasteners with what ever you have on hand and replace them. Air hammer with a chisel bit?

    Got the Classic Backyard Buddy 4 post lift installed today...

    My guess would be 8' 6" since nobody answered the question.

    Safety Clean/shop wash vat solutions....going to diesel.....?

    I get tired of that **** too Cranky. I guess my patience has worn thin over the years. When dealing with batches of smaller parts I tend to go with an overnight soak in lacquer thinner or even phosphoric acid. I'm getting too old to be scrubbing on ****. I like just wiping things off these days. :)

    Safety Clean/shop wash vat solutions....going to diesel.....?

    Back when I shot automotive paint for a living I would clean my hands in pure Toluene. Fucked me up in ways that I had no idea of when I was in my 20s. My hands looked like a baseball glove that hadn't been oiled in 20 years. That ****, any solvent, will absorb straight into your blood stream...

    Safety Clean/shop wash vat solutions....going to diesel.....?

    My parts washer is so gunked up after years of a mineral spirits / diesel combo that I rarely us it anymore. (I should really probably drain it and clean it out but I'm too lazy). Lately I have been using whatever container I can find and hitting it with lacquer thinner. Lacquer thinner will cut...
