Went to a logging supply store and bought a large cable clamp, worked well and cheap too.

Never repaired a railway track. Did try some thermite for fun, burned through a piece of half inch mild steel plate. What really impressed me was how bright it was. It was tough to ignite but using a piece of magnesium as a fuse got it going.

Have painted cars, one panel at a time with a 3/4 hp unit but with a 30 gallon tank. One panel at a time is no real problem if you are doing non metallic. Had a neighbor that sprayed cars using a half hp comp. and a 50 or 60 gallon tank. Big enough tank, don't need a high hp comp.

Great idea! My wife and i did that about 20 years ago in our 63 vart convert. Side trips to Santa Fe and the Meteor Crater were worthwhile also.

A 1953 Studebaker starliner coupe, sweet looking car but gutless performer.

Bought a K&N at NAPA once, made in china, last time.

Was told in training that the radiation from the FPN-36 GCA would make us sterile, got married a couple of years later and found that was not true.
