Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

[mecan]

It is a fun little car, has a 388 stroker sbc with tune port fuel injection around 400-450 horse. Tried selling it once after my daughter was born but only had a couple 18&19 years interested. Couldn't in good conscience sell it to an inexperienced driver.

Help is on the way! I can help you out with that Fiero

haha, it's not just me then! Always liked them for some unknown reason. The '90s (Burgundy) Monte Carlos as well.

Any opinions on the temporary garages hf sells, think they are in the 200-300 price range? Between the hotrod fiero, tractor, and attachments I've run out of room in the garage. Pole building is in the future but still a couple years away. If anyone has one how has it held up? Year or 2 or not even through the winter? Northeast ohio so we do get snow, just not in the 100 inch range.

There's another recent thread on portable shelters, but I couldn't find it just now. Dunno about HF ones, but a couple years ago I got a Shelter Logic 10x20 at TS for ~$300. Going into its 3rd New England winter, and still seems to be in good shape. Our snow is generally pretty dry, but I still make it a point to clean it off after a storm. It can be erected by one person (I did mine by myself), but it's not fun. We're fairly sheltered from wind so I just used the anchors that came with it, if you're more exposed it might be a good idea to get a few more anchors.

Haven't seen a Fiero in years, come to think of it never saw that many even back in the day. Speaking of 90s GM vehicles, I always liked the gen 2 Cavaliers. Had a '90, put over 300k on that car, got high 30s mpg on the highway. Ended up getting T-boned by some kid running a stop sign. Would love to come across another one (not that I really need another vehicle...).

I can get low 30s mpg in mine, unless I put a smile on my face then it becomes gallons per 5 minutes....
Thanks for the response on the shelter logics, read a post about them earlier.

Don't know about THEIR shelters but in this thread I explains how I built my own with their tarps.

this thread is what the previous poster may have been referring to

Thanks to MossRoad's suggestion, I've just completed a project with my new HF 20-ton shop press. I can tell you, this puppy is up to the job, even without air assist. :thumbsup:

Hhahhha NICE! You made me laugh hard!! :laughing:

:thumbsup:

Just one suggestion... Maybe do two or three at a time.

Hmmm, I spy a new HF TIG that isn't on the web site yet. Item 62486. Looks just like the previous one they just discontinued but it's black (previous one was blue) and this one comes with a foot pedal! $399.99 ($899.99 regular price) on sale now. The sale paper does not say the amps.
