I recently learned Dave Kindig has partnered with AzkoNobel to create a custom paint line called Modern Classikk. I’ll be keeping my eyes on this.

Belt Grinder by Multitool
Here’s a cool attachment from Multitool. It turns nearly any bench grinder into a belt and disc grinder. This could be quite handy to have in the garage.
They come in several sizes. This one is the 36×2 version.

3-wire vs 4-wire Branch Feeder
3-wire feeders to detached structures that had no other parallel metallic pathways(eg. conduit, water and gas piping, communication cabling, etc.) were allowed up until the 2008 NEC code cycle.

4-wire feeders to panels in attached structures have always been required.

Even thought about stepping up to electronic fuel injection to complicate your VW’s simple carbureted engine? Even though EFI does add several extra components to your system, you can’t deny its benefits.

Under Hoist Stands
A pair of these (or more) are extremely handy to have, but at $130 each the cost would add up fast.
I’m thinking I can build these with some inexpensive angle iron centered around these (or something similar). I’m always down for a project. The images are links to the products.

1-1/8″-7×2 ft., Threaded Rod, Steel, Grade A, Plain
2 Post Lifts
Every garage should have one of these. Overhead version please.
Perhaps when I build the garage I could make one side taller to accommodate a full size lift.

I heard about these folks on the “My Classic Car” program and they appear to do fantastic work. They are a bit on the expensive side, but typically you get what you pay for and their work is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
