my weekend just got better, as im driving home i realize my neighbors who had a garage friday no longer have a garage. the doors are sitting in their yard so i ask them what they are doing with the doors, and the guy says nothing and sells them to me for $50 bucks, hurricane approved 1 year old garage door at least worth $500-1000!!!


FYI the doors i have now are wood trifold POS

You need a constant 90+ psi. i suggest getting like a 25+ gallon compressor with at least 8-10 hp

I just discovered a local u-blast place that has made the refinishing on my NX parts SO much easier (and a lot more fun!). The time and cost savings with media blasting are great, and you get less exposure to chemicals to boot.

I hope you enjoy the new toy!
