Suggested tools?

[Drezx6r]

I am still in the planning stages and will likely be ordering my kit for pick up next spring. I have all the usual hand tools. I was wondering if any of the experienced builders could let me know about any tools that they think made life easier and would be beneficial to pick up prior to building? This post was inspired by rsw81's post about bench grinder vs bench sander.

Two most important pieces of equipment are a good radio to blast your favorite tunes and a refrigerator full of adult beverages.

Band-Aids are good to have handy..
Been more than one build, christened in blood. As proof, I have a nice scar in the shape of a "C", (for Cobra?), on the back of my right hand...:p

+1 on the above. An AC to keep the garage below 80º F would be nice, some heat in the winter.
Also a belt sander for setting the door, hood, trunk gaps.

I guess I'm not to good with the search function on here as I tried a few searches and didn't come up with what you provided. Thank you

Not a problem at all. I just wanted to give you the benefit of the previous discussions. The search tools on the forum are not exactly the best I've seen, but the advanced search works well and in a pinch, use Google and search "Factory Five Forum <+ your key words>"; example: Factory Five Forum Tools

You'll get descent results that way in most cases.

Another choice versus the radio... I have a 50" HD TV with a Firestick plugged into it and a sound bar. It is however setting on top of the refrigerator that is full of adult beverages.

Baind-aids... Phfff Real men use paper towels and electrical tape. (SWMBO got tired of buying me Band-aids.)

Tim, I like your style. A TV would be a great addition on those weekends when NHRA is on.
