So far, I've had good luck with the few Harbor Freight I have, like a small router and an electric plane, and a 650 ft lb impact wrench. My 4 inch grinder is a serious tool though, a Porter Cable. Doesn't pay off to buy a cheap grinder.

Naa I've been out of work for 14 months and slowing getting back into it and the weather is warming up...I did however buy this...

that one looks pretty damn sweet! i hope it doesnt make you give up on the other one though, after all the work youve put into it already. ive always liked these cars. a buddy has a 77 2dr caprice that he refuses to sell me, yet hes too damn lazy to do anything with it. been sitting close to 10 years now, im sure it will just sit and rot away. Sad

Is it an 84? (had an 84 Olds 88 four door cousin once).

looks like about an 80/1. there is one like this for sale near me. its lowered with rallies and a hiding under the cowl hood is a 454. they want 6,000 for it.

If you mean the yellow/tan/brown one, that is a '77-'79.

Jim ... GREAT addition ... looks good! Smile
