Okay, I am planning to try to do as much work on this car as possible by myself (and beer-bribable friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) ). With that in mind, I am thinking I should get an air compressor that can help me with grinding rust, removing stuck lug-bolts, and all the other great things air compressors do (like filling up tires for one).
I really don't need anything too fancy, but I want something that can run the guns effectively. I've seen some compressors for around $200. Example: This one had good reviews: (oil - less) Porter-Cable CPF23400S 3 HP, 4-Gallon Side Stack Compressor $192 And this one: (oil) Hitachi EC12 2-Horsepower Air Compressor - $239 Any pros / cons on the oil thing? What else am I going to need? I figure I'll need an air wrench and I want whatever kind of tool that Gint was using (pic attached) is that a grinder with a wire-cup brush? Looks like an electric actually... can I just run out and get one of those? Attached image(s)
