might also want to check out the disposable silicone gloves
griots sells. it's fantastic for when you do oil changes and other
ikky work like cleaning sink/shower drainage.

 

The difference between those and latex...?

 

Yeah, got them already for exactly that.
I just couldn't come up with anything for which I ever needed these Mechanix gloves yet... I'm guilty of neglecting my car

 

i meant to say their disposable "vinyl" gloves... but i was thinking that
it was like silicon cause i held the hot oil plug during an oil change and
it didn't feel that hot...although it was. and it didn't melt through.

 

I picked up a pair of the sears mechanic gloves.

So far I like them.

 

I use the sears mechanics gloves too, the red ones. the finger length is
a tad loner than the Mechanix gloves... the Mechanix and Sparco mech
gloves fit me well. next time im going to try TEIN's mech gloves.

 

Tein gloves? Where are they sold?

Ken,

Did you notice the HYDRO? Two bottles

 

wow! check out those Hydro bottles.

you can get the TEIN gloves from www.optionimports.com ive purchased
from them before and they're pretty good. also check out those wheel
spacers they have. those Kic spacers are absolutely awesome.

 

Making progress on my project
Not only did the Motofloor arrive today (haven't seen it yet, am on businesstravel again) but on the weekend I was able to return around 2200 soda cans and bottles. No, I'm not raiding trashcans, that was just the stuff we had collected over the last 2 years or so.
Out of lazyness we didn't take them away in small portions and now suffered the consequences.
So now I just need to get rid of 200 more (different store) and the appliances and I can sweep the garage and put the floor in :D

 

damn, that's a lot of pop cans... do you get $ for them in CT?

 

Yep, 5 cents. But of course you pay these 5 cents already went you buy it, so it isn't really free money. Plus it took me 4 hours to return it. This whole save the planet thing has serious economical flaws

 

^^ i see. at least you got your money back AND cleaned out your
garage.

 

those gloves are really good for when you clay your Mini.

helps to show actual condition of finish.

 

You mean instead of the plastic bag method ?

 

i think he means when you're actually holding onto the griot's mud (clay) that
melts in your hands, not in your mouth.

 

Heads up........... our Sears had this 40" 8 drawer chest on sale for $127 they quoted a $399 original price

I said no tonight when my wife said go ahead and get one, but I might wake up early tomorrow and go grab one.

On closer inspection this might not be the same exact one. The one in the store had ball bearing slides and recessed handles on the side; which are upgrades......... but you get the idea

 

Just do it I need to fill my current toolbox I am a slacker when it comes to tools but I am slowly building.

Welcome back to the thread Smokey..

 

I know what you mean My reason for not getting it was that I really don't need another tool box, but for that price

Oh and thanks

 

Done, now I need to find some place to put it

Only 12" deep but at 41" wide, it'll take some space

 

smokey- nice~

im slowly but gradually running out of room on mine... im thinking about
getting an intermediate and also a chest and put it on a casters. jep,
more manuverable in the garage.

 

Grats on the new purchase. I am sure it will come in handy for the new tools you may need for your Classic. So what car gets garage time now with the extra vehicle?

I am thinking you need to build a new house with more garage space

 

Oh don't you start too Have you been talking to my wife? She wants to build again, but in a state further south. I'm not quite ready for that. Of course a smaller house and a larger garage would be nice!

The garage looks like crap right now, I've got all my wood working stuff and 4 sets of wheels, my golf clubs, welder, service cart and the new tool box over on one side. In front of that I have the classic parked. Thank god it's small

My 02 is in bay #2 and the wife's 05 is in it's normal spot in bay #1. The kid got the boot and he's parked outside.

 

lol I am just trying to get you some more garage space so you can add more toys.

 

Ok, just checking

 

so, any recent updates anyone?
