Good morning all. Off to irritate customers. Gotta sell some adhesives to a local firearms accessory supplier.

 

Afternoon All!

I just ducked in for some lunch. I got the body work done and most of the surface prep on the Acura. There was a lot more dings and chips in the paint than I thought. I'm pretty sure I got them all. I hope to lay the first coat of primer down tomorrow.

I need to get the color shot on the radiator support for that '69 Chevy truck I was working on. I got the black done on the front side, but he wanted the inside to be body color. So I have to mask off the outside, then shoot color. He wanted the whole thing body color, but I absolutely can NOT stand looking through the grill and seeing body color. You lose the aesthetics of the grill completely when the rad support is the same color as the body. At least I talked him into painting behind the grill black.

 

We usually use the Duralast C-max pads for non Ford vehicles. No comebacks that I can remember.

The rotors are probably all made in the same Chinese factory anyway.

 

One more work day YEA! Evening folks.

 

Evening , ive been working on a new smoker ,got to put the wheels on and firebricks in fire box clean and paint then test .

 

Tell me more about this smoker. I'm wanting to build my own someday. I want a reverse flow, with a water tray built in.

Good morning Missouri!

Unk Bob

Rich is the ubolt flip worth it in your opinion? I'm not so hot on cutting that brace on the diff.....

 

NO unless you are rock crawling it and having hang up issues. For a pavement pounder and light off roading I'd leave it. Saves you time and money. You notice I did not finish ol reds?

 

Vary nice , sounds like your building what I want someday.
Put some pictures up when you can, I'd like to see that beast.

Unk Bob
