Helpful Hints Around The Garage

[nivvy]

Just a little helpful hint working on your car for those who dont know.. use rollbar padding around your floor jack to keep from bumping the bottom of your precious car all the time..... 

Use black electric tape not zipp ties......

Great tip stroker!

Good one. I am not quite there yet with my progress, but when i do get there, my jack handle will be foamed up. 
This would be a great post if we could get others to continue posting ideas.

Thanks for the tip Stroker, I will do that today. I have came close more than once in the paint chipping department. I will do that today since I have my car on 2 floor jacks right now.

Careful with fendercovers, make sure the paint side NEVER touches ground. If it does C-L-E-A-N the heck out of it

I never use em, feel they do more damage than good

I used foam pipe insulation from Lowes. Instead of fender covers a went to the thrift shop and picked up a couple of blankets this way when I'm done with them I just have th wife wash them so they're clean for the next time.

Great idea StRoKer.  I will have to get some.

Me too,cheaper and easier to get than roll bar padding.

Goody, do you use anything in place of them. I used to use moving blankets.

I use the moving blanket too.  I just make sure that it is really clean on the top of the fender.

The pipe insulation deal is a great idea as I've bumped mine a few times lately.

Great idea Jason!!  :thumbsup:I love that old gas pump you've got in your garage Rare TA!!  Any plans on restoring it?? I am still trying to clear out my garage enough to get my car into it. Shelves help a lot with getting crap up off the floor. I am now looking at storage platforms that bolt to the overhead joists where you can store boxes and gear again to get the stuff up off the floor. They seem pretty good for this and still allow enough overhead to drive the car into the garage. My springtime goal this year is to get the darn car into the garage!!!!!

I bought these racks from Home Depot and they hold like 1000lbs per shelf suppusedly.  I put double the amount of screws in them too.  Hit a stud on every one for sure.LOL

And the Bike racks are from a local shop.

BTW the Mountain Bike cost as much as my Engine, maybe I should use it more.LOL

Yes I do I have another that is apart waiting for spring so I can start. I have an early electric one that's done and setting by the garage in the back yard.
