I am getting ready to buy some cutting tools, grinders, etc and I was wondering what are some of the better tools out there for the job of maintaining 914s!

What tools would you have in your workshop? |

My favorites are:
Electric drill- 3/8 variable speed reversing A hole saw for spot welds (fits in drill) Sanding/grinding disks for the drill and a backing disk (for paint removal) An electric sawzall for cutting sheet metal (SCREW the HARBOR FREIGHT AIR ONES they last less than an hour) A dremel with fiber cutting wheels for fine work - A Miller 135 MIG welder.... (I love it! one of those all time favorite tools) A 4 inch angle grinder with grinding disks, and wire brushes (cup) A 9 inch grinder with a John Kelley shrinking disk to shrink those body bumps.. a hand nibbler ( Radio Snack had a nice one) A tapered reamer (up to 3/8- get at the Radio Snack) Hammer and dolly's for metal bumping Sanding block Long sanding block Long squeege for bondo (mine is for spacking and about 2 feet long - smooooooth panels with this..) And a HVLP paint gun and turbine to paint with (mmmmmmmm). Get those and you will be happy and can do almost anything to a car body. Ken |
