RC. The original version of Gone in 60 seconds had Eleanor as a '73 Mach 1. The one with Nick Cage was actually a remake.

 

i'll give ya a call in thew morning alan... i didnt know there was a re-make.. i guess i havent seen either movie yet.. i just remember seeing a advertizement somewhere with what looked to be a 67 or 68 mustang called Elenore from a movie...

 

Hello All... Well, I have done absolutely nothing.... just work... and stacking Bick Block Legos with my son... and realizing I need to get a regular set of table and chairs for the dining room.... Liam likes to climb the tall ones... i did get this sign to put
up in the bar though....

 

Sorry Unk Bob I forgot the B day..well my tablet with the auto reminder program was suppose to tell me that is was your B day got broken the other day in a horrific rick shaw and taco cart accident down on 5 and Vine. Sim Sam the driver is now driving a F250.

Happy belated birthday Unk Bob.

Stephen, Ford sign and concrete counter tops, cool. **** creek and get a little cap'n in ya huh?

 

actually, if you look closely, I haven't touched either of those bottles of **** creek... That one half empty though, Woodford Reserve I have recently partaken of... good stuff. I'm a beer guy normally, but I drink a glass of bourbon when the wife wants to drink wine, Or when its time to party... That Captain, whew, we (the Captain and I) had a disagreement last time I opened that one...prolly a year ago.

Thanks for the nod on the concrete bar I am proud of it as well as the 4-plug-in outlet on the bottom right of the bar - Got its own breaker... I can run 4 Crock pots with 4 different cheeses/chili etc at one time.

Unk Bob, I don't know you sir, but happy birthday! Hope it was a good one.

 

Yessir RC, the real Gone in 60 Seconds was released when you were just a youth...in 74. I understand your confusion seeins how you're too young to remember it. Heck you might have been over in that furrin country then.

 

good morning missouri.. ...chip i was back stateside in 74..i might of been out in the gulf of mexico making sure the diesels on the oil rigs stayed running.. or holding down a barstool in alcapulco or vera cruz.. those were some wild years if i remember em right!!!.. ha ha ha ha

 

i did not see many movies in those days.. except for one that my wife pestered me so bad about, that i finally took her to see it.. i dont remember the year but the movie was the exorcist, a scary movie for it's time.. we had to stand in line to get in!!!! .. and i was not one to stand in a line to get in for no reason.. those days seem so long ago ..in a much different world

 

Good Morning Everybody!

I got that bumper cover fixed, primed and painted last night. I thought the silver was going to lay alright, but when the clear hit it, I got some tiger stripes in the base. I may just have to break down and buy a modern gun that can shoot this ultra fine metallic and pearl. My gun is just too big for it. I have to spray too many dry coats from 18" away to get silvers to lay half decent. Anyway, I hope it's just my over critical eye under fluorescent lights, and it'll look ok out in the sun. Otherwise, I'll have to reshoot it next week. ....at least the damage is fixed and I can just scuff and shoot it if I have to.

 

Morning to all, yea Alan get that spraying silver down right, lol. My ol silver truck is going to need some here someday.... Or maybe I will change to a more gunmetal color?

I am finally on the short side of this gig and will be pulling chocks here soon....

 

Alan, I spray all but the bass boatiest metallics with a 1.0 to 1.4 tip through an HVLP or RP gravity feed gun. The bass boat flake gets sprayed with an old borrowed Binks gun with agitator. I also spray each coat at 45 degrees to the prior and end with a drop coat. I always use activator in metallic base coat, it lets the metallic lay a lot better than just using the reducer. This is probably all basic to you.

 

Yeah. I've been using Full base from Dupont. It's already thin so I don't use reducer at all. It IS a catalyzed base coat, so it usually lays out nice. I only have trouble with pearl white and silvers. There's just something about those colors that my gun hates. I use an old siphon feed Binks made for Mac tools. So I'm behind the times regardless.

 

Fine if we are going to talk confusing work stuff, here is what I was working on today and I hate paperwork.

And if you look close, the model/brand of that vehicle is PICKUP. It looked like a ugly 4 door something with a bed. Spotted it on the way to the hotel, I was laughing to hard to get a better pic.

 

Them planes with the oddly located propellers must be interesting to fly. Alan, I believe I get a better finish spraying with my old Model 7 siphon feed.

 

When things go good or bad....



I would of just flown under the bridge....
