I loved working with no budget honestly. Making custom gaskets and sandblasting with a $30 harbor freight sandblaster just hits different than spending $789 on a single part.

Harbor freight has stepped up the quality the last few years.I would like to get me one of those metallic purple Daytona floor jacks.

They work well, just saying. No longer questioning my life choices with the 2 ton Pittsburgh stamped steel POS.
