That looks good. A very hard part to duplicate. Imagine what repops would cost if they were available?

Thanks!  So I don’t know but I have quite a few hours into it (including some “grrrr-just walk away time”) so I imagine it wouldn’t be cheap.

So I need a little bit better dust management now that spring is sprung, so I can take the covers off the summer cars and still grind away (literally) on all the weld cleanup that I need to do on the front end...

Enter dust booth V1.0. ...

Made from 1 1/4 angle iron (Meccano for Adults ?) and 6 mil vapor barrier. I might add a fan and filter - we’ll see how it goes...

and yes it will double as Part A of the modular paint booth when the time comes ???

I like it!  I was just about to start building my paint booth out of 2x4" but the adult Meccano looks a lot easier to tear down afterward.

Thanks!  Home Depot Canada had the 8 ft lengths on for $13.20 a piece, which I thought was pretty cheap .....cleaned them out ?

You... Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Us... You know we can still see you, right?

And the adult Meccano  is very light to reposition.  The whole assembly can be pulled with one hand...
