The Wife thought this was a good pic.

Sometimes working on the Truck ain't too darn glamorous....... That paint stripper burns. I was wearing eye protection until the photo......

100F in my shop Havi..... Maybe it's hotter at Bobby's

Hey Havi, you don’t see that many convertible (roadster) mobile homes now do you?

Or headless people who must want to remain anonymous?

Eman, I think you look very distinguished and dedicated.

Can I ask you a question though? Why are you fooling with stripper and scraping? Why not get an angle grinder with a cup wire brush and just zip that stuff off right now! Are you into pain?

The Grinder and brush gums up almost immediately. The stripper removes the bulk of it - then the grinder and brush.....

Do I see a high-dollar manicure there?
Not the most glorious task....and when you get done and it's all painted; most of the frame is hidden.....so only you know the effort involved.

Dawg,

Who are you trying to kid here?? Come on everyone, take a close look at the pic, Ol' Dawg's hand aren't even dirty, heck his shirt is spotless, and the doo-rag covering that glistening scalp ain't even sweat stained.
Here's how I think it played out..... ...I think Ol' Dawg there is definately worn out, but he's worn out from kicking back in a chair sipping several frosty beverages while barking orders to some poor sap who got conned into stripping gunk from a frame. Don't get the wrong idea here gentle readers, its taxing work pointing out all the missed spots, and having to get up every so often to refresh your frosty beverage (the poor sap was too busy scraping frame to get the boss another round).

Just kidding Dawg. I'll bet you'll be danged happy when this stage of the game is over. Good luck with it.

Havi, at first I couldn't understand why you had a topless house, then I saw the next pic and it all made sense. A headless man should live in a topless house. It must be hard doing all the work one handed, it might go twice as fast if you set the frosty beverage down.

Bobby
