Or the "switchable" supercharger in Road Warrior! I want that one!
As a young man, and not totally grasping how a roots type blower actually works, i thought that was the coolest thing ever and wanted to put on my car. My dad, who was a trucker had to explain to me how blowers really work. Loved how they used a hi/low range knob to activate, I was pretty familiar with that watching my dad go through the gears in his old 12 speed Jimmy cab-over. One of the best movies of all times, when Mel was somewhat normal.

I would have loved to be double pumping the clutch and pulling on gear shift knobs at the same time! :Big Laugh:

That first picture made me think of Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel. I was hoping you had thought about getting out. Enjoy the new place, but make sure your garage can accomodate a lift in case you ever need one. (I know that from not planning ahead myself #)$(#W$)(*)

30x40 garage will have storage for our camper with 11' tall doors and 10' wide. It will also have 6" thick concrete poured for half the floor of it. I am also running 100 amp service to the garage so that I can have all the power i will ever need out there. My wife is non too happy about the extra charges for this, but she understands that I am planning for the future of the shop. I actually already have a lift in mind. she just wont let me buy it yet... lol

100a in the garage is great. had that done recently. my 80gallon air compressor runs on 220. i swapped all the plugs for the welders and air compressors to the same plug. i have 2 220 outlets right now. new breaker box is in the garage too.
