<ul>
<li>When you are doing your wiring, put everything through a relay controlled by a switch at the door. All lights go out, compressor shuts down, the plug your stereo plugs to go dead. It's nice to know you didn't forget to shut of your compressor.
<li>In case you ever want to paint in your shop, put at least a 12" pipe from the center of your paint area to the outside of your shop where you plan on mounting your exhaust fan. This way instead of drawing the air across you shop or..? you will pull the air down around and under the car. It will make for better flow and a cleaner environment.
</ul>

<li>Tired of a wire brush and paint remover? Think about a <a href="tools/beader.html" target="_parent">glass bead blast cabinet</a> for a professional look.
