I agree but I'd be changing wheels out like mad. I built a dedicated polishing station using an old motor. No rests or guards in the way.

Also a sheet metel nibbler if you are going to fab pieces. Roy

woodward-fab.com has a free catalog with nearly every level of fab tools you could want. from back yard shop to full production

I know you will be sending your paint work out but get a touchup gun there will be a need on nearly every project to black something or touch up a spot scratch etc.. duplicolor makes ready to spray paints works way better than aerosol sprsy bomb. (although it has its place also)
