Looking Good Rian. Sure glad your 6 0r 7 degrees is way warmer than the 6 and 7 degrees of my youth. I would NOT be roofing at that temp. :lol:

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Remember Andy, the welder/manager lodger in summer, of BBQ and JD Honey fame?
He is back for three days. Of course, like Mickey, he likes to play as well, and actually came home early from work yesterday, and while I was on the roof, drilling and screwing, and drilling and screwing, a LOT, I suddenly heard movement behind me on the ladder..... So suddenly I had company, and in tandem the job went twice as fast. Early selfie. Not the ideal angle to work at, but got stuff done. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...pix/001(7).JPG Screws in, followed by hexagonal caps on them. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(43).HEIC First two rows of six completed. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(41).HEIC Andy posing it up. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(42).HEIC Once capped, we cleared the roof. Then of course with too much light left, I needed to see what the replica pump looked like where I had visualised it for years. So we dragged it out from where it was packed at the back in the corner of the garage. Tried different head dresses. Note, this is STAR Gasoline, not Sinclair, so a bit of editing to come. I will also build a 200mm tall plinth for t to stand on, and need to fit a light inside the globe if I do go with it, or a stalk for the star if that gets used, to have it about 150mm above the top of the roof. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(44).HEIC Globe needs to be sign written https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(45).HEIC Further back. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(46).HEIC Add in the Yeti, and you get the picture. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(47).HEIC |

Lots of indoors stuff done, including cleaning.
Managed to find a truck breaking yard, closed, where I should be able to buy or get fiberglass and resin coated plywood to use as a rear wall and weather deflector. Imagine side off this. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...pix/001(8).JPG Mate Darren offered his large trailer or flatbed Transit for me to use to get the potentially 16 foot by 8 foot sheet home in one piece. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(13).jpg Then it was up onto the roof again to add the flash and to the side where the roof sheet butts up against the garage wall. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(48).HEIC After sticking it all down I carefully heated all of it, bit by bit with a heat gun on high as the wind was pumping and it was chilly up there. Really sealing it all together. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(49).HEIC Next job later on was to close this odd shaped hole with the sheet of conservatory roofing. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(12).jpg Cut to size after measuring it out. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(50).HEIC Done.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Small jobs and spending some quality time with Sally who is extremely tolerant of my time spent down the garage and carport.
When we laid out the roofing, it turned out that I had 800mm excess on the last sheet, so we blended that gain into the roof with overlaps. However, I also allowed myself the luxury of a 300mm gain on the width of the roof. Overlap. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...pix/001(3).PNG So I added a bit more timber to the end, and this will allow for the extra guttering to be mounted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(58).HEIC Much better, dark green paint mixed and added. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(57).HEIC Moved some shelving around. More changes to come. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(19).jpg Also painted the sides of my garden tool cabinet, moved it about 150mm over to the left and under the roof. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(55).HEIC Then gave the wall a coat of durable, washable paint. And once done, this was the view over Mickeys hedge from under the carport. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(54).HEIC This morning’s Facebook Flashback to 11 years ago. Haynes Museum, RR’s Gathering https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...pix/001(9).JPG Mickey made a valid, funny comment last night, asking me what I am going to do when I run out of stuff to do, to keep me busy. Who knows, life is good. We will keep busy. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Went to visit this girl today.
Had other business to deal with, but who would not say hi to her, came charging up to rub up against me and make a fuss of me when I got there, and hung around while I worked. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(63).HEIC I went to drop off a set of 4 Mitsubishi 4x4 wheels with winter tyres that I had been given by a friend recently. I know Darren will use or pass them on to someone who can use them. I also needed too get some directions to where to go find the company that strips down delivery trucks and rebuilds them in the hope to get some of the sides to use in the carport build. Typically when I got there, Darren was as hospitable as I have become used to over the years, kettle on, guided tour and chat. Asking about lamp shades, as I wanted a gooseneck light on the carport, so we ended up back in the workshop. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(22).jpg Pointing at a pile of off cuts, and a tool, he suggested I make one myself. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(67).HEIC While Darren carried on with his day job, I played with the wheel. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(69).HEIC Soon enough it was not straight anymore. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(68).HEIC And result, to be cut shorter, a mounting plate to be welded on at the right angle. Cat seemed impressed that I could give her some attention again. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(65).HEIC Darren had given me this ally shade from his stash of treasures to use toward making the light. I know there are better ones out there, and gave away the two I had, years ago, so will figure out how to make this one work. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(64).HEIC Unimpressive price https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(60).HEIC So over the weekend I will make and weld up a mounting plate after cutting this pipe to length. So after finishing as Darrens, I headed out to the truck breakers. Owner was not there, so I spoke to one of the staff, looks like I may get lucky at some point to get some of the fibreglass ply. I also managed to get off their pile of scrap, a truck roof mounted aero wing came home in the back of the Galaxy, 2.2 meter long, it will probably end up over the patio doors, painted white. Allowing the doors to be open when it rains. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(70).HEIC Galaxy rocks. SPACE !! https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(61).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(59).HEIC Lastly, another scrap pile find was this cup holder and cubby hole storage unit, with keys. Will be used in the C10, always wanted one, but not at the price the make. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(66).HEIC Good night. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(62).HEIC PS: Life is Great. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
After work I popped down to the garage to see if I could make a start on the carport driveway lamp.
I wanted only one on the 6 meter frontage, though two or even three crossed my mind. Let’s start with one. Bits laid out https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(75).HEIC Mounting plate cut, drilled and sanded. ] https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(74).HEIC Tacked down squarely. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(72).HEIC Welded all the way around. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(10).JPG Checked the squareness.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So following yesterday’s post, there were recommendations to add strength to the mounting plate of the light fitting.
So I added some weld to the sides. And made some gussets up. Drilling holes to add to the look. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(86).HEIC Ready https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(85).HEIC Enough welding. Doubtful if it would give up in any weather. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(87).HEIC Flap disc, tidy enough for 12 foot up in the air. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(82).HEIC Fitting machined into the post. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(79).HEIC Mounting post drilled and ready to take retaining screws. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(77).HEIC Next up, paint for the post, and the inside of the shade, brushed on gloss for the post, white spray paint for the inside of the shade. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(84).HEIC Painted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(83).HEIC Last dilemma was what colour to do the outside of the shade. Traditionally they are green, but red does exist. @pauly and @Craigrk were not helpful...... Sally said red, but she likes red, and she is a girl after all. In the end I decided on red, because why be traditional. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(81).HEIC Yes, certainly it looks like red. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(80).HEIC So there you have it by 7.30 painting was done, it may take a few days to dry properly. Chilly tonight, by the time I shut shop it had dropped down to 4’C https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(78).HEIC Usually PaulY only visits when it drops below 6’C Must get the kettle on. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
I know we have a fair amount of carnivores here, Fresh biltong, Collected yesterday.
Got some biltong from a local-ish maker/supplier (Biltong Cottage on FB) or contact me for details. She will ship as well at a cost, I tend to collect mine. I still make my own as well, but know the cost in time and meat vs a good deal. Bought a kilo of original and 500g of chilli which is really good. As a personal gift, her husband gave me a bottle of Mrs Balls Chutley ( no, I am not going to try to explain that) https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(88).HEIC After painting the lamp shade, and leaving it down in the garage overnight, the next morning I found it super tacky and clearly not drying. So I bought it indoors and have had it balanced in the small office oil radiator in the kitchen. 24 hrs later, it is now nice and dry, probably needs a n]bit more time to really dry and for the paint to go hard. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(89).HEIC One other job that I have looked forward to has been getting the very large compressor from the garage and into its own space next to the carport. The @pauly annex. Lifted with my Jack, and wheeled in two wheels at a time. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(90).HEIC Decided to paint the mount for the light red as well. The white paint, though sold as gloss for metal, is water based, and not successful. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So the lampshade seemed to respond well to the small heater under it.
Paint has dried to the point where it does not mark or dent, though I am sure you could scratch it off with your finger nail So I fetched in the mounting bracket and a plank on which to place it for painting and drying, and proceeded to paint it red as well, despite planning white originally. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(95).HEIC Done, mounted, now wait for it to dry over the next day or so. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(91).HEIC Went to the garage agin, and fished out the last bit of the green and redid the edge of the shade, separating the red and white with a narrow band of green. I do like that, and from the ground it should look good. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(92).HEIC While at that, I mounted the Chevrolet sign I got from Darren a few years ago. It had lived indoors after being painted. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(93).HEIC From a distance, up on the beam. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(94).HEIC Nothing spectacular, but I certainly feel that I like it.

Yes, I am happy so far. Next step is 4 steel cabinets on the weekend for the 19th December. They will form a rear wall and storage, plus two at 1.5 meter tall to go next to the door. Right team. LED Strip/Ribbon lighting. Today’s technical question is around the parts needed, and effective fitting of LED ribbon lights. I have an idea, and it needs to be done. Using LED strip light, to look like Neon lighting from a,distance at the top of the carport structure. Specifically the red board only, I contemplated the upright posts in red or green, but then it may end up being too Christmassy. I seen you can but 5 meters of non waterproof strip for as little as £6.00 from,China, up to local, waterproof strip from Essex for £14.00 This excludes transformer, connectors etc. I do have a nice 12 volt transformer in the garage, waiting for a job. So this is the red board, either on the lower edge, or even behind or just below the roof sheets, but I think behind makes more sense. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...x/001(29).HEIC Advice,,tips, links, experience, guidance appreciated I have not been to my local TLC electrical wholesaler yet.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Having a day job, rubbish weather and life in general can all get in the way of a good story.
Another small job done today on the Rezin Rockit build process during my “lunch hour” break . We had a load of rain and some snow early in the morning. Driveway temperature was 4’C when I was getting this done, chilly. As much as I dislike this whole Corona virus and how it has turned our worlds upside down, I am massively thankful for still having a job that I can do successfully from home, despite it not being very rewarding as the old way was. BUT...... my daily commute of a minimum of 60 miles or 100km taking me a minimum of two hours, means that one can add a bit of travel time to your own agendas. So today I needed to move a 3/4 ton bag of sharp sand from under the carport to behind the garage. Also some 25kg bags of building gravel and more bags of kiln dried sand. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(26).jpg Opening up some space. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(25).jpg For the Rezin Rockit as originally planned. So getting it through here between the caravans. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(27).jpg Managed that, with a 3 ton jack under the rear differential and some careful force. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(115).HEIC Resulting in it getting reversed into position so that I can get to it for some of the preparation work. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(114).HEIC https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(113).HEIC So in a way I have made it to one of the goals set originally A dry workspace for the future. Still needs more work to be done and some weatherproofing. Oh, and it is the weekend. |

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
So having posted the last two pics I did of the biltong at day 3, I was questioned about how didgusting my second pic looked.
Striated fat makes it incredibly tasty. Now modern man avoids fat often. However, in biltong the fat is certainly cherished, either as in the first pic, or mixed into a cut batch. I like the fat as it counters the dried nature of the beef. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(20).JPG Moist is how I like it. Some people do not. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(19).JPG And of course you could have it quite dry and without any fat. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(18).JPG This is how my local supplier dispatches their biltong. They will post/ship at cost to you anywhere you are. Down as Biltong Cottage on Facebook or call the mobile number on the packaging. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...ix/001(21).JPG |

Camera Action....... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(127).HEIC Removed the light unit, Nicely sealed in. I suspect this could be put in a pool or pond too.

While I was down there, I pulled out a 1800mm length of scrap ply and grabbed the jigsaw, a pencil and square. Made a cross Mickey popped over to ask for help getting onto Facebook, I love how he just grabs technology when needed and gets on with it. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(129).HEIC Then glued the side wings on using 50mm strips of off-cut and a length of railway line used to put pressure on it all. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag.../001(128).HEIC Next step will be to use the LED from the globe, mounting it centrally, either behind a stylised heart or on its own, and to use it as a Christmas decoration in the window. Weekend over again. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Well....
Mickey is a traditional Christmas decorator..... when his lights go on, the national grid blinks and then dims. I do not do this sort of thing, but thought I would add a Christian slant to it all.
