Looks like a fun way to stimulate the economy . Nice batch of upgrades ya got there . As a side note, by chance is that tire attached to a chevy of some sort?

[Bill Stoffels]

yes Good observation here is the car

[Chris Padilla]

Uhm, that car is in the way of major space in your shop!

[Leigh Betsch]

Move the car it's block'n the view.
You'll like the bandsaw, I not crazy about the Euro guides but they do the job. Someday I hope to replace mine with roller bearings.

Corvette, Fatboy , dresser, and all those new tools. Methinks you have too many toys! (Not really, I'm just jealous).

[David Hostetler]

I'm a Ford kind of guy, but I can appreciate that classic Corvette... Nice ride...

Just curious, that 3HP dust collector looks like one of those newer model harbor freight jobs. I thought that was a new model for them... Only seen them since 2008. Did they have those before and I missed them?

That Oneida is definately a nice upgrade, but why upgrade when you have the bigger DC with good filters anyway?

[Bill Stoffels]

David the old collector was about 10 years old worked well but it was used with a Blue tornado cyclone that I also sold.
This was a "cleaner " set up more efficient and more room left over

Bill, you have great taste (in bikes, cars, AND equipment!) All of those items purchased are excellent quality.

Re the Corvette, it looks like a '71 or '72 model with a 350 from the pix.

[David Hostetler]

'71 I would say. Didn't '72 have the rubber bumper?

Anyway... I kind of wonder about your old 3HP... No interest on my end as I already have the 2HP and don't want to fool with 220 yet... (I may get there though!) do you know if the Wynn 35A kit will work with that setup? I know you'd need 2. I just wonder if the inlet ring is more or less the same as the 2HP HF DC...

The black contractor trash bags are an intersting touch for sure!

That's a good point... If I remember correctly, '72 had a rubber front bumper, and chrome rear bumpers. '73 had rubber front and rear.

David this is the wynn kit on the Oneida and I do not know if it will fit the 2 hp or not, this one as you can see is mounted high for the clerance of the filters and dust pan.
the motor is 9' 8" off the ground

The car is a 1970
