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.

Hole Punch for VIN Door Sticker

My original plan was to print my door sticker with the VIN number clear on a transparency. This would simulate the numbers being punch out like the factory sticker.  Now I’m wondering if a small punch to make actual holes in the sticker would work well.  I found this set, which goes down to 0.5mm.

I haven’t measured the holes yet, but this may be just crazy enough to work.

New shop for the Ghia?

With getting all things settled in the new house, we might be converting my garage into more living space. If that happens, a larger detached garage would be in order. Something like this would be just what the doctor ordered.
