What are you doing today?

The repaint of mini bike parts was successful. I looked over the 32 and tomorrow I'm headed to Gunnison Co. for a car show. It was 100 degrees here today and the low in Gunnison should be in the mid 40's. I'm thinking insulated coveralls.

I ended up buying a complete kit from Durall. I am using their Dura Seal 400 product. They talked me out of the Durapoxy, said it was overkill for a home garage. It was half the price so I said OK. It's going to a long couple days, the prep process is quite extensive. I'll post some before and after pics. I went with the deep red. Was going to use gray, but my wife said "why paint the concrete to look like concrete?" I hope it looks good.

Pulled the baffles out of the roadster side pipes to replace the fiberglass matting or what was left of it. Man is that stuff itchy and I still have to do the other side yet.

And he said "let there be light!"...and there was light, and he saw this was good...

Yes...I got my shop tied in to the house today so I now have 100-amp service out there! You guys have no idea how excited I am about this!  

There's a total of eleven, 4' T-8 fluorescent lights on 3 switches. I may rent the place out to the local hospital as an operating room. LOL






The black metal "ladders" in this pic are a heavy-duty shelving system from our local furniture store. They are renovating the warehouse and were going to throw them out. I figure I can turn them into a killer work bench.

I worked on the gas filler door on this pickup today I had to mold a fiberglass cup to fit the filler pipe. Here's what I came up with. How did I do it?

fiberglass over a baloon?

Going to prime the hood and core support for the Olds.  These are the last pieces that have not been primed and blocked.  Might manage to get paint on it this year yet.

Headed out of town for nephews wedding today--then back home and back to wife's coupe trying to get it to run cooler in traffic--so she can take it to Frog Follies..Won't let the 55 in there.

Only a matter of time Ken. Everything changes.  I think the Louisville show proved that. I loved seeing Tri-fives there as well as a host of other cool cars!

I'm working on installing door panels and trying to figure out why my autometer gas gauge won't operate right. I suspect a bad ground, but not sure yet.

Also installing a new GSP location unit that will send messages to my cell phone under certain conditions and allow me to send messages to cut off certain functions using my cell phone. Got it on E-bay for $58 (plus $25 shipping - ouch!) but have to buy a pre-paid phone SIM card to work with my cell provider. Instructions suck but I THINK I have it figured out. Wiring it in today.

glassed over a plastic pop bottle bottom?

glassed over a plastic pop bottle bottom?

Nope, I thought of that, but the hewer bottles are no longer round on the bottom, and it wouldn't work.

That's what I ended up doing. I found a rubber ball at the dollar store that was just bigger than the hole. I squeezed it into the hole, added a tape covered wood block where the notch is, and glassed over it with two layers of mat,

Put windshield wiper kit in my 34 Chevy coupe.  Used Specialty Wipers.  Mounted the motor in the quarter panel behind the driver's seat.  It's really quiet and works great.  The wife is happy that this car has a wiper on her side too.
