You can never have too big of a compressor!

:>)


I have Snap-On die grinders - and I have everything in between - including Harbor Freight versions... I agree with you - they've gotten so cheap - you buy a couple and toss 'em when they go bad. While I prefer, by far, to buy American - it's hard to justify a Snap-On cut off tool when the junk versions work just as well.

Once you get a good compressor - then all your tools go air... drills - grinders - dimple dies... then you have to convert your engine hoist to air... and your tranny jack... Next thing you know - you're blowing the floor clean instead of using a broom...

:rofl:

I thought I was the only one!

I have a decent size craftsman air comp. My main problem is my garage is only 17x11 so it is a tight squeeze. Thanks for all the tips though.

Not sure how I have missed this build but looking though it you are doing a great job. I can't wait to see more progress. :thumbsup:

Thanks. I took off from work next week, so if the moon and stars align properly, I should have more photos next week. Hopefully, I can get the front subframe back under it, and maybe even start the subframe connector install. But, of course, life always gets in the way.

Chris how u comin on the car? It looks awesome so far. Thats alot to do for the first time but u look like u doin well. I have my truck tore down rite now to goin to powdercoat frame then start puttin back together i hope. :thumbsup:

Nice build! Makes mewant to start on my 67' camaro. I plan on doing the same mods. How you liking the DP 90? I love the stuff. I reduce it 10% when I spray and it takes most of the orange peel out of it. I like how you sprayed the inside of the quarter before you hung it. Thanks for the pics!! On the Harbor frieght tools..I bought a warranty once just to see if it worked..I wore out an electric grinder and they replaced it twice for free!

The project is coming along well, looking forward to seeing color on it.:lateral:

It's coming, but slowly. I've managed to get the subframe under the car and aligned to the best of my ability so that I could start welding in the DSE sub frame connectors. I've pulled about 6 million dimensions on the car and subframe. Some x dimensions are within a 1/16th and other dimensions like wheel base dimensions are about 3/8" off from side to side. I don't have the rear suspension under the car yet, so I'm doing my best in determining the 12:00 position on the quarter lip and then dropping a plumbob to the ground to find the center of the wheel opening to measure the wheel base. Who knows, I could be slightly off with my guessing. I did get the driver side floor cut out and the connector is fitted and ready to be welded. BUT before I weld it in, I think I'll hang the front sheetmetal one more time and measure some more.

I find myself trying to build a 68 Camaro with 2010 specs, and it just ain't happening to work out the best for me. I'll be posting pictures soon hopefully. The holidays were supposed to be time for me to work on the car, but that it didn't happen! Stay tuned.

I like the DP-90 so far. I've only used it on the exterior of the car. Everything you see in grey is the Omni line of epoxy primer by PPG. It's much cheaper than the DP-90 and was more appealing to me for the areas not seeing a basecoat/clearcoat application.
