Check this out. The wife wanted a new dinning room table. Couldn't afford it so we painted the old maple/white table. Still in work. She stained the top and I touched up with the airbrush and used my paint gun to spray polyurethane. She is happy so far. They really turn out good.

I was hoping we would trick you with one of our balmy late december/early januarys...Its usually only real nasty from late jan. to early feb.

Table and kitchen turned out nice.

The compressor is very compact - the one out of my Chevelle, along with its torch-cut mounting bracket, weighed as much as a VW engine! I'd love to go with your set-up in my car, if it's adaptable to the 290 horse Chevy crate 350.

Mac. :chevy:

On one of the Studebakers I did it was really tight, and had no room for a mechanicle fan. I had to use 2 electric fan's. One in front and a puller behind the radiator. It worked good, and didn't over heat.

Alan, How close are you to wanting to install the hood latch? I am asking because I was working on my truck yesterday and I got from the pull-it-yard the setup from a Camaro and it looks like it is just about a bolt in affair with maybe having to make just a little bracket here or there. With that setup you can actually have the hood release in the truck without having it able to be opened from the outside. Just a thought if you are interested.

Awesome truck, everytime I see that color it looks better!

Post up some pics if you have any. BTW thanks.;)

Thanks Alan - I'll certainly check that out.

Now we need to discuss my shame, my sickness: I have to over-complicate things and I have to put that original transmission hump air conditioner "cabinet" back in my car and run the cold air ventilation through that unit, rather than using the vents supplied with the kits.

Is this doable? Or should I spend some more money on special therapy?

Mac. :waah:

I was looking on CL tools the other day and ran across a rotisseri (sp) for $400 a half mile from my work. It was at a restoration shop and the guy was retiring. I wish I had known sooner maybe I could have worked for him to learn more about the restoration side of the business and possibaly bought him out. Anyway the rotisseri is home made and should do the job. If not I can sell it and get my money back. I couldn't have bought the metal for that price. While there he had these dollies for $40 now they are mine. He has a 14X24 cross draft booth and mixing room for $5000/booth and 2500/mixing room. He took great care of his equipment. I just can't afford that kind of stuff yet. Here are the dollies.
