Get the hell out of Texas! In fact, best to do it under cover of darkness.

Run away, run away! We're gathering a gang with pitchforks and torches!

Haha, it's not bad - just doesn't excite me. Warsteiner is probably my single favorite beer ever......

Definately do not get a pipe bender!!!! GEO is right, the pipe bender dies don't fit tube, they only fit pipe. In addition they also pinch at the bend which will give you a nice crush point in a roll over. The JD2 is what most of the 4x4 friends of mine have. A great resource on tube bending, best pricing for tools and everything else tube is www.pirate4x4.com. Get on their search engine and search for bending tube, you will find tons of great info from the 4x4 crowd. Outside of that your on the right track. I imagine the sandblaster your looking at is pressurized, if its siphon don't get it.

I would happily store that Jeep up here in St. Louis for you so you have more room for the P-cars!

Thanks all for the info on pipe bending, had no idea........

The sandblaster is a remote tank with a gun on the end of a 9-foot hose. No hopper-fed crap for me!

The jeep belongs to the local WW-2 museum, my dad is replacing the clutch. He painted it last year and it runs great, just needs a new clutch.

Your shop reminds me of the saying "10lbs of **** in a 5lb sack". I got my compressor and welder at Home Depot. I have their 40 (or 50?) gallon husky. Its pretty reasonable at $400. Has plenty of HP, plenty of cfm, and a large tank. It runs on 220 so you have to have a 220 outlet in your shop. I painted a car with this unit, no problem. It also ran my DA all day long. The welder I got is the Lincoln Weldpak 3800. If mem serves me correct. It comes with the MIG kit and it is 130 amp. Neither of theses units are the best you can get. But they are definitely adequate for my needs. The upside is you bought them at the Depot. I used my Home Depot credit card and bought them under the 0 interest for 1 year. Then I paid them off in 11 months kind of eased the pain. Also, if something took a ****, I could just walk in and return it.

If I could spend more money, I would buy an Ingersol Rand compressor and a Miller welder.

I love the paper towel holder on the ceiling. It looks funny at first but you never have to wonder where you left the roll of paper towels.

Haha, yeah - that's why I have been going to the dump every weekend. Half of that crap isn't even shop related, people keep putting lawn care crap in there. We have an implement shed, don't know why the lawnmower keeps ending up in the shop..........

Everything is for sale.........

The fenders are for a 924 though, not sure if they would work for you, unless you need 924 parts........
