Camaro with T-tops?

armax:

home depot rents flatbed trucks for $19 for 75 minutes.  that's if you are in the states.

paigeoliver:

A t-top camaro with the passenger side t-top out will hold a mini!

Nope, I'm Retro-Roger! :) J/K.

Well, at least about the Roger anyway. I mean, I am posting in an arcade forum and I do have an Atari 2600 connected to a TV upstairs with over 400 games and...well...you get the point. :)

Ok. We've established a few things here. Now someone mentioned Home Depot rents trucks for $19 for 75 minutes. Is there mileage involved as well or just the straight fee?

U-Haul also offers pick-ups for ~$19, but charges .59 a mile.

Assuming just a straight fee, and rounding, we'd have spent $20 additional from our budget. Counting the book which was about $30, we now have spent $50.

Now, the biggest concern I'd have is still the fact that I don't own many of the saws, routers and such and I really don't know much about them. I do have plenty of screwdrivers, torque wrenches, a soldering iron and desoldering iron, a small (probably 1 ft) level, a tape measure and somewhere out in the garage, I believe I have a sanding block that I bought many years ago.

Still, how much am I going to have to set back to buy the tools needed? Of course there is the issue too, that this would more-then-likely be the ONLY time that I'd ever use these things. Now, renting is a possibility I suppose, but how expensive can that get? I've read many examples where it takes guys 3 - 4 hours or possibly even days to get all of their cuts finished and set up just right. If Christmas presents are any indication, I cannot cut a straight line!  ;D
