Well, looky here...Flex 3403!!!

I've actually had this in my basement for a couple of months now, just sitting there all by it's lonesome self. I ordered the 3403 and the 3M yellow BP from Phil, and have only had a chance to make sure it turns over. I've been re-doing my garage the past couple of months (drywall, mud, tape, prime, paint, lighting, etc.) and have been all-consumed by it. That's why you haven't seen much action out of me lately.

I decided on the 3403 seeing as it's a very similar design to the 3401 which I'm extremely comfortable with. I tried a Hitachi (Blue Diamond's) at the STL detail meet, but it had some technical issues and it just felt a little awkward. Also, had a Flex 302 rotary that I picked up off ebay, but turns out it has motor issues as well. Here's some pics:





Oh, and just wait til you see the finished garage pics!!!

 

Very nice. When is that goin to see some action?

 

Nice, that 3M Backing Plate looks wicked with the Flex :wicked:

I'm looking forward to the garage pictures as I'll be doing the same in a month or so :thumb:

So where are the pictures :waiting:

 

Thanks, Carlos. I have 2 words for you on garage organization: Gladiator Garageworks. I just have a few more things to put up and should have finished pics this weekend. Here's a teaser:



I've added some more action to that sidewall since this pic was taken. It's really turning out nice. Also, that is the wall that I had to insulate, hang drywall, and put 3 coats of mud on. Most everything else was already drywalled but only had 1 coat of mud.

And, yes, those 2 big cabinets are dedicated to detailing software and hardware!!!

 

Oooh that picture looks wicked, I love the wall maunted cabinets :worship2:

Ooh I cant wait to see the end results, manthat's looking WICKED!!!!!

Oh on the new house there is no grass :cheerl: :cheerl: so I no longer require the assitance of my lawn mower and rakes...ect..ect..so the garage will be completely dedicated to detailing and fancy vehicles :gidiup: :gidiup: :gidiup:

 

i know u will love that setup!

 

Lookin great Jon!

 

Nice work on the garage!!! Bring the 3403 to the next meet!

 

That's a pretty clean setup there Jon! Can't wait to see the rest of your pics.

CONGRATS!

That looks like a very well balanced machine. You are really going to enjoy the 3m BP too, it is like christmas every time you have to polish
