I picked mine up at harbor freight for like $10, works great

I didn't think far enough ahead when I started this project. My air compressor is portable, and is stored in front of my GTO in the garage. It's impossible to get it out from it's current location without moving the car, which is behind the truck. Needless to say, I'm not able to use my air tools. Thankfully I have an electric grinder that I have a flap disc and cutoff wheel for, so I made good use of the grinder. The air hammer would have been very helpful though. Had to use a punch and a hammer. Managed to hit my hand a couple of times too.
