That one special tool?
I have a MIG welder, Air Compressor w/attachments, Chain Hoist, Parts Cleaner and Sandblaster. I can also get access to an ARC or Oxyacetelne welder.
In fact, I have most of the tools necessary to complete my build.
However, I want to have all necessay tools on hand before I begin my build. So, I'm making a list. Aside from the hand tools listed in
Champion's book, what tool did you need and for what use?

Air rivet gun and a wire brush stuck on the cheapest small 5" grinder! AKA the tool, a credit card with a 120000 $ limit,
A fridge full of beer and a broadband connection the work area to have your computer nearby to ask those ........questions. oh yes and last .... the
number of the best local pizza house that delivers. Sorted lol

Air rivet tool is excellent. I have a hand riveter but I'm sure that will get old really quick.
I also bought an additional 4"grinder.... one has thick cup brush, one has grinding disk. Maybe another with sand flap disk? They are only about
$20 and it saves a heck of a lot of time from having to switch attachments I've found. (Lazy)

They must be available in U.S. and are great for fetching weld down. They are not as damaging as gringing discs and last a lot longer. I keep one in a
cheap grinder and it gets used all the time.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

A chop saw attachment to fit a large angle grinder,makes cutting up chassis parts a doddle and also makes your cuts both square and angled spot
on.
