Have fun, I won't be doing much in my shop either (now), the compressor motor caught on fire today in the middle of priming my hood.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

oh dude that sucks bad!

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I fixed it for you Alan :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:thumbs:

:lol:

That really sucks. Hopefully nothing else was damaged. Mine gets really hot. This past week while I was running it so much, I put a fan blowing on it to circulate some air. It sits back in the corner.

:agree:

You wish.;) :haha:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I really enoyed my break. I went almost 6 days with out internet and it was so nice. I remember how simple life was before the internet. I need to revisit that more often. Anyway, went to the local car show today here is a LINKY to some pix. Also got to meet jsmithbm at the show and he came up to see my pile.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Welcome back from the dead Alan!

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

umm Alan I'm glad that you had fun and all but uhh GET BACK TO WORK I NEED YOUR INSPIRATION.. THANKS AND HAVE A NICE DAY....

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I don't want to go back to work. :waah:

:thumbs:

Since you put it that way, I guess I don't have a choice.;):lol: I need some inspiration myself. After going to the show yesterday it lit a little fire. These body guys showing off their stuff and I have nothing to show. What sucks is it's taking time away from my family. What should I do. Follow my dreams or be a better dad and husband? I know it's a deep subject.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Family always comes first. End of story. But if she knows how important your project is to you, she should understand. At least your at home doing it, and not some where else having a beer with the guys. :sumo:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan I know what you mean. Me and my wife are always going at it about my truck. Sometimes she wants to work on it, but most of the time she wants to sell it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Family first............Then Ronnie's truck..........Then your truck.......... :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:agree: thats where i've spent my whole life,in a shop

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Yeah, make it a family affair. Get them all involved :metal: In your dreams, huh.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Amen brother. It's a hard balance.

My wife use to help me all of the time on the cars before kids.

I see. :haha:

I would love for them to get some hands on. Their attention span needs some help. :lol:

I was born with a wrench in my hand.

I need some peace and quiet sometime.:lol: I've got a thinking problem.:chevy:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I know what you mean. It's like therapy. You must have young kids :dnd: :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I agree Dennis it is good therapy....
Welcome back Alan...

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

2 girls 9 & 6.. They say an average woman talks 10,000 words a day and a man talks about 4,000 a day. When I get home I get to hear all 30,000 words at one time. HELP ME!!! J/K

:thumbs:

I was looking on CL tools the other day and ran across a rotisseri (sp) for $400 a half mile from my work. It was at a restoration shop and the guy was retiring. I wish I had known sooner maybe I could have worked for him to learn more about the restoration side of the business and possibaly bought him out. Anyway the rotisseri is home made and should do the job. If not I can sell it and get my money back. I couldn't have bought the metal for that price. While there he had these dollies for $40 now they are mine. He has a 14X24 cross draft booth and mixing room for $5000/booth and 2500/mixing room. He took great care of his equipment. I just can't afford that kind of stuff yet. Here are the dollies.

Nice buy. :metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan i have a couple of questions for you. I used the slick sand today and it kicked way to fast. and then clogged my gun before i could finish one bed side. any ideas... also what can i use to cut it. I don't remember what you said that u used.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I used a medium urethane reducer. I cut it about 10% if that. I don't have the can in front of me right now. I don't know if it's right, but the stuff is hard to spray unless it's cut with something. I'll try to read the label and see what it says tommorow.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

thanks. it was not a good experience for me today.. it was a huge mess. but it will sand off thats what counts.but had to clean my gun and that was bad.
