I'm with you Leo, I don't know how I could have restored the red bugeye
without the compressor and blast cabinet. Both non-USA made. The compressor
is holding up well, the blast cabinet is a PIA. If I ever do another project
I need to replace the cabinet. I could live without my lift but the blast
cabinet gets used a lot.
