Morning gents!
Got home from work last night and painted the back of my barn shed. Now some more cleaning of the shop tonight for a bit when I get home.
Bullet should be in pretty good shape this weekend. Should be able to test drive soon.
Enjoy the weather gents

Now that I have a place I have slowly decided to get my commercial sandblaster back in action and convert it to dustless (water) . the water cools the metal so no warpage. Might be a bit but I like the idea because of the humidity in Missouri. Soda blasting is too expensive to get to work...

Evening All!
I got the Taurus assembled and set outside to cure. The next job is inside and mostly done already. All the metal is straight and mud and primer work is almost done. I should have that one in paint tomorrow. Friday will be color sanding and buffing the Taurus and getting some primer down on the '69 Chevy cab. Time's running out to raise the money I need for my new toy.

Morning folks, I managed to get my garage door open yesterday afternoon. So I could get the 2010 cleaned up to give back to the son inlaw...

Good day all. I'm in office and keeping busy. I am learning to delegate though. Sorry Dan, you might be getting some calls from Steve or Shaggy. Awards banquet is Saturday and then back to shop work like normal and work like normal. I've got a 90000 SF facility to work up an all LED proposal on after the first of the year.

Evening folks, just had a mini mini FTE GTG at the Bolivar Walmart. Penny and I ran into Larry and his wife. 3 min catch up chat and out the door.
Great to see you and the Mrs again.

Evening All.
Well, the GMC is ready to paint, but GM strikes again. Another wrong paint code on the data sheet. It took 45 minutes in the mixing room, adding half an ounce of this, and a couple drops of that to get a color close enough to blend on the panel. This is the third time in the past three or four months that a GM vehicle had the wrong code or no code at all on the data sticker.
Hopefully, I'll get this shot tomorrow.

rich glad to hear you ran into larry, i wonder sometimes if he is lurking somewhere..
alan i hope the paint matches the rest of the truck so you can get it done and move on to bigger and better things...
another day of no ford truck progress.. not that it matters that much anyway, i dont get paid enough to worry about it..
chip.. are those led lights any brighter than regular florescent lights?
