That one is on my short list. For a 60g, at that price that one is real nice. The is an 80g at Sam's that has my interest at the moment.

haha yeah the garage is a little cleaner to make working on the SS a little easier. Oh, the compressor normally lists for around $430, but was on clearance for $240.35. I couldnt pass that deal up. I thought it was a clearance of the display model, but then they took down a brand new one off the top shelf.

Matt, Lowes Home Improvement, but remember you need a 220v power line for it, It will not work with a normal 120v outlet.

Their site is still showing full price. I might have to drop into the store again.

What Lowes was this at? I stopped at the one on Rt 1 in west windsor and there are no compressors on sale.

well, its now finally all installed, wired, and working. I just finished up wiring it at the main box this morning(i held off till i got back from my sis's wedding in detroit) I had ran the wiring and did all the connections in the garage last week. After talking to an electrician and a general contractor, i went with 8/2 wiring from the box to a single surface mount recepticle in the garage and then a section of 8/2 to the compressor itself. When i install my lift, i'll just run 8/2 from that to the outlet and use another plug. Since the lift will be used rarely, i'll just unplug the compressor when i need it. After it was all wired, i turned it on and it ran great, filled the 60gal tank to 135psi in under 10 min. and after fixing a few leaks in the lines I am now set. Later today or tomorrow, i'll change the valve springs on my motor, lol. heres a pic of it setup, now i just gotta clean up/setup around it....

Cool! Just think of the cars you'll be able to take apart now!  And all the free time you'll have since you won't be using hand tools!
