If I had this and a good sandblasting setup I'd be going to town on my car. There's so much I'd like to powdercoat. I definitely don't have room in the garage for either setup but it sure would be nice. My subframes need some attention.

This. It makes me wanna take my entire engine apart at Paul's and powder coat the entire block, heads, and parts. Then reassemble.

Not right now. I don't even have room for a regular size stove. Welding equipment is going to take up some room. I want to do a little more fabrication. I also need to get or build a good metal rolling table.

If you are getting rid of it cheap I might be interested.

Did some john deer tractor wheels today. With building and mine/Paul's schedule it's hard to find time. But I do appreciate Paul making time. I wouldn't have done this except the a guy at work, his dad is restoring his dads tractor. So it's like a 3rd generation tractor and so I told him I would.
Hopefully in a couple months it will find its way into my new home and I can rip my car all the way apart and put it back together slowly, correctly, and everything be done right.

No pics because I can't get my Photobucket to work. It will log me in, I can look around and pick pictures but when I go to upload it will take me to a log in screen....then not let me upload.
Like you said Cooper is getting old.

Holy crap. So first attempt at moving this oven to my house was an enormous waste of time. The Yukon dimensions would fit it....but that's not the opening. I would have only an inch all the way around to fit it in. Then I really didn't remember it was SO FUCKING heavy. So basically 3 hours of driving for nothing.
Next trip I went with a guy from work and he has a tommy lift on the back of a long bed truck. Man...this worked 10x better. Then getting it in my house. Wow. If this thing was an inch taller it wouldn't have been able to set up from the truck bed and I have 10ft ceilings. Anyways...here is her resting place. Need to change over the 220 plug before I can use it.

Changed over the plug...what a pain in the butt...man those are thick wires! Got it all hooked up. Hey, why is the green wire only wrapped in paper? If that grounds out isn't that bad?
I got it running though.

The green wire is already grounded, is it not? Not a problem for it to be bare/wrapped/whatever, though I'd prefer a jacketed ground wire myself.
