Would this work do you think is it similar to the ones you used? They have a few different designs listed.

I am also going to buy an electric impact, I had one that I have to my dad before I had my garage that worked awesome. It was heavy as all hell but would get the job done. I don't have much extra room to fit a larger air compressor in the garage.

I dont understand how someone could spend a bunch of money making a car awesome then not drive it. Mine will be out every day, it will become my daily driver in the summer.

My buddy is a perfectionist and has a demanding job too. He has done some great work on his car and it is going to be a real track monster when he is done. He has a new Challenger for a DD and works on his Z in his spare time. His 1.5 diff is a monster; darn wheel hops off the ground around slow corners! lol
