As for the attachments for airtools or dremels i'm not sure what to exactly go with yet. don;t know if the little flap wheels come in all different grits only seen 80-200 grit.

If anyone has suggestions to i am open to help. but i have to wait to see if i get a s/c soon.
yeah I got an air compressor and all the air tools. I work at praxair where we sell abraisives so i could get the "proper" sanding attachments and **** to do a good job. Probably could get the special flap wheels with the polishing paste... hmm that might work good.

thank guys i will likely check out both when i get a chance one day. usually work lots so will be tough, is praxair open saturday. i'll have to find out about aklands.

we have all 3 i believe in rd so i'll try and get into a few places see what my options are. i atleast got a sander for flat larger areas. cost me 8$ haha. i just need smaller attachments to get the groove and tight corners. if all goes well the valve cover is next.

lol Im just kidding

They do have some neat stuff there actually. They're like the walmart of industrial ****. got alot of everything, but don't specialize in anything. If you want stuff specifically for metal work you come to us.

Spotted at worky: Z51 Corvette!

Yes I said a Z51 It sounded bad ass but boy I struggled with the badging for a second or 2!! WTF is a Z51 Corvette? Upgraded suspension, brakes and some other minor details as thats all the guy would give me .. It had a big ass reverse hood scoop as well..

Now if anyone wants to meet up this Friday night 21st and weather is on our side say hey or ney? I say meet up Future shop parking lot or near the south end Timmy's, the parking lot south of Timmy's near that bank?? Its just north of Home Depot.. ok later humans
