How's that powdercoating setup coming? You baked anything yet?

 

Not yet, JUST got the oven this afternoon and i have to modify a few things inside, (bought a used household oven). A fabricator friend of mine will get on that prolly by friday. I ordered high heat tape, plugs and some black powder last night and should have that by friday as well. Im hoping to get my stock wheels done within 2 weeks or so. Needless to say ill keep you guys posted on how it turns out. Ill start with some scrap metal first to get a feel for it tho.

 

I rent out a bottom of a barn for $200/month. you can fit 14 cars in it. its all cement floors, I block off a section of it for the winter to heat. I have 7 cars in it right now. I also rent out spots for storage some times too. but theres a stupid support beam that hangs down kinda low, and the ram is too tall to go under it. so theres just enought space to just pull it in. so that kinda sucks...

 

Either my parking spot in my condo lot, or my friends driveway or garage.

 

My cramped 2 car garage if I have to do it at my place. My preference is my cousin's place with a large barn, tons of tools, beverages, etc. There's also the whole "knowledge" thing... it goes up exponentially when I'm not the one working on it.

I don't have any place to work on it at home except the driveway, but I do have two other places I can work on it at.
1) My uncle's shed. 100' by 50', no heat or AC in it, so kinda cold in the summer.
2) 45,000 sq/ft shop, heated floors, complete washbay with a hotsy, and there are several mechanics around with lots of tools. One toolbox in there alone cost $30,000. So that place is nice to work in. Room full of jacks and various lifts works real nice.

 

well....i have a 5 car garage that is usually full...but i usually work in there plus thats were all my tools are, otherwise I use my brothers 2 stall garage....

 

i have a powdercoat setup here at my place....got an old household oven and a Craftsman powdercoat gun....works pretty damn good really....even got my own little paint booth setup too lol.....now if i could just have another garage to make a paint booth big enough to paint a car lol

 

Havent used it yet but thats what i have. Im gonna take the bottom drawer from the oven and cut it into the rear of the oven so i have more room and am able to bake 22 inch wheels. Glad to hear its a decent setup!

 

ummm, wherever my truck is parked
