New Toys

Well, I finally started working on the Camino again after letting it sit for over 4 years up at the new house. Got a few new toys that should help me out.

This is the latest toy; a 7HP 80 gallon 2 stage compressor. I need something with more power to be able to run the blast cabinet I built and also some other air tools. This is the basic kit from TPtools. You just supply the wood and cut to preference.




















220 Volt Line

Here are some pics of where I need to run 220v into the garage for the new compressor. Needs to have a 40A fuse, so I am planning on running a 100A subpanel out to the garage

Here is the main box:





















Now I need to figure out how to run it up the side of the house. You can see the panel by the fence. I'll need to come up to the eve and then sneak it under somehow.























Where to run the wire? Under the eve and around?







Here is where the line would need to run to. The compressor is right behind the 3rd stall window. I would like to either go into the wall on the upper left side of the 3rd stall or run it around the side of the yard.







Here is an inside look at the garage:

Rusty Block

Here are some pics of the cancer in my car. This will need to get cut out and welded up with new sheetmetal.















This is a picture of the rust spot that showed up as a tiny rust bubble. After poking it a few times, I noticed it was much worse than I thought.















Well, left side is gone. Let's start working on the right side!!!
