Quick 10 miler on the AZT.

it’s got a long ways to go… @greenbeast …..as the President of Toyota once said: “ a journey of 1000 miles begins with an FJ40” 😂

Here is the goose coop and run that I built. Coop is 42”x48” and the run is 6’x8’. That’s 19g 1/2” hardware cloth on sides, top and bottom. I used full 2x4s on the bottom frame but everything else is 2x4s ripped in half. The chicken coop and...

Have to share the final product, wife asking for me to do same so she can get chickens. Ducks, they are frree roaming laying eggs everywhere and all the local critters eating well.

75 is on the lift getting some TLC so I had to break the pig out today. Looks like it could hold a lot of 2x4s.

Thank you sir, it’s got a long ways to go…

@greenbeast BEAUTIFUL SHOP!!!

Yep. It's the nozzle size and not the cabinet size that makes a difference. You can get varying sizes of nozzles, but even the small ones take a fair amount of CFM. And the small nozzles end up being like trying to paint an entire car with an...

I continue to battle the weather and my schedule with traveling plans the wife has made. All this has made getting access to shop difficult. Along with that we have had some hard downpours over the last month pushing a ton of loose sand to the...

Amen Brother! Some gave all… I am grateful.

Take a moment to reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice, so that we could have the Freedoms we enjoy everyday.

Amen! Have to admit I get little misty eyed, every time the “Star Spangled Banner” plays. Usually I fly my Alma mater flag under her but today all about old glory! To those who are serving, have served and especially those who died protecting...

The important requirement for blast cabinets is CFM. Meet the demand for CFM on the cabinet you purchase and keep the air reasonably dry, you will have blasting bliss ☺️

Found some pics.

Michael Thanks, I have no idea what requirements are for the blast cabinets (obvious huh) but have some comfort knowing this particular compressor. would work. So many options out there and I don't see a need for a super pricy one, especially...

Love the family pic with new car!!

I'm adding a couple more. @BombCity looking dapper and myself 16 ish.

If only some technology existed to hold a hood open… there’s your million $$ idea!!

When people ask how long have you been into Cruisers I always say my whole life. Since my Dad's recent passing we have been digging through old photos. These were taken sometime in the Fall/ Winter of 1973-1974. Yours truly in the Red Overalls...

This is my good friend cruise7040s truck before o was honored to work an it for years.

Went to the local Cars and Coffee with @FJBen :

@greenbeast as hard as I tried, I now have Christmas decorations up in The trusses. Laid a few plywood panels…at least I don’t have to look at this stuff occupying my space. I use the lift as an elevator to access that area @WarDamnEagle that...

Good to know, If I get a blast cabinet in the future it will be a smaller one. Unloaded trailer today since wifes company needs the trailer back so several containers of cruiser goods got dumped in the shop. I was clear from the beginning with...

I've got a 25-year-old Quincy 80 gallon, 5hp, two-stage compressor. Like knuckle, I chose the output (17.1 cfm @ 175psi) for abrasive blasting with a Skat cabinet. Even at that output, the compressor cycles pretty frequently while blasting.

Happy to..But remember…you asked and I have nothing to do right now my compressor is a 5HP 2-stage compressor with a 120 storage tank. It’s a vertical upright and has a magnetic starter at 220V. Made by Campbell-Hausfeld. Here’s the better...
