started getting tools to do some body work on the blue Z and then later on the Hulk Z..

 

got:

 

6" Dual Action Air Sander

15 pc 3/8" Reversible Air Drill Kit

16 gage Heavy Duty Air Nibbler

Cut off Tool

High Speed Reciprocating Air Saw

5" Heavy Duty Air Disc Sander / Cut off Tool

 

also got some nice air craft air tool metal bits, few hammers, welding clamps.

 

all the air tools are Snap On Blue point, might not be the best but i got them for free from my school.

 

welder is next (looking into that now) and im also asking what other tools i might need to get?

im looking to do everything from reg body work to custom metal work.

 

im getting a sheet metal brake and a band saw.

Don't forget the sandpaper man. You'll want some real quality stuff, not some cheap #$%^ that rips on you. Its not really a tool I guess but with good paper you can work so much more efficiently.

 

Best I found is either the "aluminum oxide" or the "silicon carbide" types... packs of 100 is what I buy. Makes regular 3M feel like a kleenex...

 

Are you going to get a full-blown TIG set up or MIG?
