Supposed to be like 95 today :twisted: Its 3pm randy left about 1 hour and 1/2 ago i been cleaning the shop heres the pics of what we have done. At least I wong get any more rust on the frame.. Front axle and rearend housing is this weeks project. I hope to have em done before i got to eldora next friday.. This heat aint helpin.
Dave :wink: :arrow: :wink:
Oh ya the reason it took longer than expected was I decided to fill some of the welds in.. They were ok welds but didnt look real purdy so i filled em in and sanded em . Ive got a lil touch up to do but it looks good so far......
looks good Dave

Oh, quit yer whinning and gitter done. No you know what we go through everyday for about 6 months. I work outside in this crap all day long, dang near 7 days a week and I ain't complainin'... :P :P :P
Geez, if it ain't "It's hawt, It's hawt" then we hear "It's so cold out, I fired 11 shots at that deer, and when I finally hit him the bullet bounced off `cause he was frozen."
Put a headband on, put an ice cube in yer mouth and get to work, ya wussy... :P :P :P :D
That car ain't gunna get built while yer sittin' in the A/C typin' about the heat... :roll: :D
Maybe you could get Sue to come out and wipe the sweat off that stylish mug of yours when she brings out the pitcher of ice cold metamucil... :P :arrow: :D
Just had to do it... :wink:
Frame looks good... );b(

You're working too hard. I would have cleaned off the bottom shelf of those shelves on the wall. And people think it's easier to build without fenders. GPster
Quote from: "Crosley"wow....... 95 degrees
LOL
i had to chuckle a little at that, too. 118 here yesterday.
104*F here at this time..... I just finished up mowing the back yard. It needed to be mowed
Quote from: "Crosley"104*F here at this time..... I just finished up mowing the back yard. It needed to be mowed
yup i was mowing at around 4:30, it was 104 in the shade by the thermometer on the patio, then i jumped in the pool.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
later jim
Took the wife and the grand daughter and we went to the other side of the lake thats down the street here and the kid wore me out :!: :!: :lol: :lol:
She has no fear and im not afraid of water either. (sue is) .. Then we went to dairy queen and i got a big ol ice cream and now im fat and full :lol: :lol:
Im cooled down now though.....
Dave :wink:

I looked at that picture of your garage that you posted. By the color of the yard around it I think you may have your mower set too low. GPster

That looks like to much grass for Az. :wink: I thought everyone landscaped with rock and cactus :)
we got some rain last week and the lawn could be mowed but id just be mowing weeds cause they are the only thing that grew..
Dave :lol:

By that i take it you mean use all the spray bombs ive got on the lower shelf... :?: I just cant bring my self to do stuff half azzed Joe.. The only thing building a fenderless rod does with someone like me is give me that time that it takes to line all that stuff up and prep to use as extra time to go over board on the rest of the car.. I keep telling myself this is for sale and its a driver but I keep going overboard again and again :lol: I turned the air back on in the garage when i left for work this morning cause its gonna be 93 again and i need to start on the rearend housing and front axle this week. Once they are done ill be ready for final wet sanding and some paint..
Dave :lol: :lol:

I have to agree and I have to admitt I wouldn't be so bad. I would have used all the same color. GPster Smart Azzed Club
I was in Lake Havasu 2 weeks ago ( went to the LA Roadsters show with my 32 roadster ) and it was 110 degrees and up ... BUT it is a dry heat :)
Try 95 degrees and up here in the South ... with 90 plus percent humidity ... NOW ... that's hot :cry:
Frame looks great. Don't you hate it when you are sweating into your work? I've started going to the shop around 5 pm when it starts cooling off....humidity has been nuts here. :shock: :shock:
Don
yea it's a dry heat in AZ most often....112*F only feels like 87
NOT

Got the rearend all sanded and ground down last night. Man i havent worked that hard in a year :lol: . Im gonna try and hit the paint shop tonite for some etch prime in a spray bomb and get a coat of that on it till I get back from Eldora Speedway. After I get back ill add some filler thats needed and get it ready for epoxy and hi fill primer.. Next is the front axle but I can see the light now..
Dave :wink:
Another good night. I got the rearend and the front axle all cleaned up and etch primed. 43 bucks worth of etch prime in spray bombs (3cans) at the paint supply store but i got 2 good coats on both pieces and still primer left in the first can :!: im gonna use it on the spindles and backing plates and brake calipers too thats why I got 3 cans.. Im gonna have to start thinking about a color again here soon.. Im getting pumped up again i can see a roller soon :lol: :lol:
Dave :wink:
What brand spray bombs you using? I have been getting good results with Duplicolor etch prime in spray cans.

Well you had me confused when i answered with SEM i expected you to tell me it was too much money and the duplicolor was a better deal or you coulda just started your reply with I dont know what u use but i like duplicolor and sem. See how simple that was and how little typing was involved... :)
Ahhhhhhh nevermind..
I prolly coulda stopped at the local advance and got the duplicolor and id thought about that but the local painters supply is about 5 more minutes towards town and in all honesty I firmly believe in the products they sell even if they arent cheap. One thing i wondered though and ill ask next time im in there is i see the have a new ppg line called the shop line? Ill bet its still rather pricey though . Id like to see what they actually sell in shop line.... paint? clears? reducers?.. Ill ask..
Dave
GOT my answer already.. shopline is a rename for the omni line.

Another plan gone to hell :lol: :lol: :lol: Ya i started wet sanding my frame today and before i knew it I had another block and some 320 dry paper on it and i was going to town.. Ya right. Looks like about a weeks worth of sanding then some reprime on the bare spots but IM ON IT......... Sue came out and started asking questions about what i was gonna be doing in 2 weekends and i ran her out of the garage..

I got yer back Bro. 8)
let me help you with that little "obsession".
send me a schedule, and any pre-purchased tickets you are in posession of, and I will go in your place. :D
the best thing for this type of addiction is to remove yourself from the surroundings that lead to, and contribute to, the addiction.
you need rest. but I don't know how that will help the laziness, but we have to concentrate on one problem at a time. :?
Team Smart is hear for you, but you have to take the first step :)

I'm here for ya too Dave..... :) Here's the plan.. :idea: Pack up everything you have for the roadster...Send it to my house..I'll see to it that it gets finished & returned to you asap :!: :!: Figure on saving a parking space starting about 2019 or so ....( After all..Things must be "tested" after they are built , correct :?: :?:) It's that or "Primer On---Primer Off....Primer On...Primer Off...." :oops: :oops:
Oh....You mentioned "sanding through" in places....If you're trying for "Patina" ..Don't you need color first :?: :?: :?: :wink:
