Happy New Year to you all!!!!
I guess that I have clearly been on a hiatus. I was forced to take vacation this past week due to a company shut-down so I took the time to put the project away for the winter and to make room for my wife to get her car into the garage for the winter. I lost some of the urgency 'cuz the weather has been pretty mild by any standards of normalcy. I thought that I was going to have to take the car off the rotisserie to get it to the side of the stall, but it turns out that it fit without having to take it off. That was obviously a bonus.
During the closing days of my work in the fall, it became pretty clear to me that my compressor had a pretty hard time keeping up with jobs like grinding and sanding. I had actually been on the prowl on Craigslist for about a year for an 80-gallon compressor. I finally found one, so my patience paid off. Got a smoking deal on it too so it was worth the wait. I picked it up two weeks ago and dragged it home. I will have to figure out how to rewire it because when it was removed from its previous home, all the wiring was cut instead of just disconnected. It has a commercial grade motor that has a mag starter that I will need to sort through. I have all winter to sort it out, plus I won't need it right away when the weather gets nice in the Spring anyway. L8r
