Ok, where to start...lol.... Im moving out to Ohio and im gonna live with my friends parents. They have plenty of space and they said i could use the garage that is attached to the barn (half is a garage, half is manland....pool table, tv, card table, etc.) so i get that garage to do body work in.

My question is.... (mainly directed towards bdyman and clutch) what kind of stuff am i going to need that im probably not thinking of/know of?

I already have a compressor in mind....http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00919261000P?prdNo=14&blockNo=14&blockType=G14

(before anyone tells me, i know im gonna need to get the wiring upgraded)

and i know i need an air line filter to get the water outta the lines....

I also need to get a small grinder, plastic welding kit, a welder, maybe a new spray gun, stud welder/puller, a jack, jack stands, welding blanket, plastic to put over the parts of the car im not painting....

i wanna make sure im fully prepared....i dont wanna have to stop in the middle of a job and go get a random tool that i forgot about.


SO....ANY TOOLS THAT IM GONNA NEED IN THE FUTURE!?

also, clutch...and bdyman too..lol...i know you made a "paint booth"....with wood and plastic sheets....my question is what do i need for that? any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and i know im gonna need to get some type of heater so during the winter i can get it to about 70 degrees where im gonna be painting.... just gotta find a good little heater... lol...SO MANY THINGSSS!!!!


BDYMAN/CLUTCH----YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANNA SELL!? lol
