Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

I would have been happy to stop with that camoflage green primer, but noooooooo, he has to have shiny blue paint ! One thing, I've sure gotten a lot of practice with a spraygun over the past 6 months.......and I still don't like it anymore than I did in the beginning. My body is probably going to go into withdrawls when I stop feeding it all the nasty chemicals it has been getting through laquer thinner, 2 part primers and paints, etc. Just the other day when we were done sandblasting (used 320 lbs of sand) we read the bag and in big letters it read "DO NOT USE FOR SANDBLASTING." Something about silica poisoning or something like that. Later on that night Dan said to us "you didn't use that stuff for sandblasting, did you??? It will KILL you." Guess we need to start reading the labels on stuff first.

Brad, I agree on air compressors. I don't think we are meant to own one that works for long periods of time. I didn't even go cheap this time and am still having this stuff happen. On the baffles, yep, I see that they are done with some plates in there, and probably will do the same if I have to go further in noise reduction.

Well, the good news it's a slow death. Actually a slow, agonizing death, but what the hey........................

Gee, thanks Bob. You are always such a ray of sunshine in these situations.


Don

You know you can always call on the good Reverend Uncle Bob whenever you need consoling.

Don,

Silicosis (potter's rot) is the reason they stoped using sand for sandblasting many, many moons ago. There are other media available that are less dangerous, and cause less damage to the underlying metal.

I use a product called JetMAG. The local suppliers carry it. I just looked up "sandblasting supplies" in the yellow pages.

With the small amount of blasting you have done, I doubt if you'll have any problems - especially if you wore a mask. You DID wear a mask, didn't you? If it's any consolation, I'm sure you'll keel over from all those paint fumes before the sand gets you . . .

Let's see, between the cheap chardonnay, the paint fumes and the sand he'll be stewed, pickled, and dessicated! PERFECT!!!

Ah yes, Yellow-Birds where the drink of choice in the dorms (T-Bird & O J)consumed by the pitcher it was great for giant hangovers and no memory of anything is for sure!! Hurts just thinking about it.

Damn denny im shocked you would know about any of those brands, mostly the good ol night train, but i tell you what if you drink enough you will swear you got run over by one.

What the heck was I thinking??? I woke up this morning with my first hangover in a long long time ! Since I couldn't find the corkscrew, I drove the cork (YES, IT HAD A CORK ) down into the bottle with a phillips screwdriver, so then I couldn't recork it to drink the remainder later. Sooooooooooooooooo, I drank the whole thing. Actually, it was a pretty good bottle of wine, given to me by a customer who owns a liquor store, so it went down like water.

As for the dust mask. Well, we BOUGHT a couple, but didn't use them. Got busy and forgot. At least we were outside with a good breeze blowing, so maybe that will help. I can't even use young and dumb for an excuse. Maybe old and dumb would fit better.

Don,
I was wondering, when you poked the cork in with the phillips screw driver if you got it to go inside the bottle the first time? If not and you had to poke it a few times the cork would start breaking up, then when you passed out and your mouth hung open you would have all these embarrassing little pieces of cork caught in between your teeth
So, the next time you decide on a binge like that put a 5/16 washer on top of the cork before you push it in with the phillips screw driver.
I'm just trying to help
Ken

Sounds like the voice of experience to me Ken ! I actually got it to go in with one good shove, and it stayed intact with no pieces floating around. I would have strained it through a dishtowel if I had to, we were out of soda, so I was desperate.

Hey Brad, do you know the difference between an ugly girl and a knockout?

3 beers.

Don

Oh, on the car front...........I got my fuel lines routed tonight and about 3/4 done. We also shot 3 heavy coats of 2K primer onto Don's frame and it came out pretty good. Plan is to fill a couple of little booboos , sand it a little, and shoot blue on Wednesday night.

All I remember is that after drinking that cheap stuff, I woke up with some ugly women, Shame the cute ones that went to bed with me didn't stay till morning...............LOL
Brad

Back when I was on active duty in the Navy (20 years worth) we used to call them "wolfers". You'd go to sleep with a beauty and wake up next to something you'd rather gnaw your arm off than to wake her up to remove it from behind her head.

There is "Double Coyote Ugly!" You chew your arm off to leave and get home and realize she'll be looking for a one arm man so you chew the other off to through her off the scent!!

hey Don,

When you get to mounting your body on your frame can you post some pics of where and how you mounted it.

Thanks,
Z
