Lets!!Hey Tim, let's raffle that Charger off!
Shop looks like a crime scene this morning. Empty bottles everywhere, music and heat still on, and more yellow snow puddles outside of shop than I can count. Wife left her phone at neighbors, she and neighbor got in small brawl with a bottle of fireball. They both lost! Other Neighbor wiped out yet another bottle of bourbon! On plus side after intense negotiations we arrived at a price for the steering column out of my Demon, he took it home for twenty bucks plus all the bracketry. His wife was howling him for bringing more parts home for the car that he will never get done. We had a absolute blast! I get this stupid toolbox clean we can call it a year. On to 19! Sincere thanks to Joey and his merry crew of moderators keeping us all in line this last year, a thankless job at best. Likely very similiar to herding cats.
I would be ashamed to leave your shop like that if I used it because I would think you would be like my dad and lay down the rules like most military men. LOL
Buddy had his truck in the shop,replaced master cyl and booster. Box was full of snow. To bleed we just opened all the bleeders and drank beer. I think we forgot to fill master cylinder. 3 times. Broken (full) beer bottles and water/ brake fluid covered the floor. Beer fetcher was terribly clumsy that night.
I HATE Flat Roofs......After brunch with the neighbors went up to fix the roof.
Figured it was going to be a rust hole, and of course whenever I *think* I know what will have to be done, it turns out to be something else. View attachment 1715269540
Culprit looked to be a cracked solder joint. One of the brothers who did the repair work insisted heavy solder joints were better - and this is why they are not.

But in one way this was good news. It meant solder repair might work and not having to mess with paint type products in this weather.
Not pretty but got it done. Then while cleaning up, found a nail hole that wasn't properly fixed.

At least it was a nice day and there was still plenty of daylight. Cut a little piece of copper to cover the hole instead ofrelaying entirely on the solder.
Got it done and washed up with baking soda. Not beautiful but it will work. Paint tommorrow.

They ALL eventually develop a leak..
Just like inflatables....
Says the Hype....not convinced...
Happy new year Dave...
I saw where they cut a boat in half and flex taped it back together and it held. Hard to question that!
Happy new year to you too Tim!
Don't think I ever used the liquid, but the tape is good stuff.
Haven't heard any yet. But will be very surprised if I don't hear them soon. I would expect them to get it done early though. Probably by 10
Well at the very least it sounds like you are in less tooth pain today!And equally right on schedule, the folks in Australia have started their day on Jan 2nd and my work email is lighting up like a Christmas tree.

There's a acrylic Rhom and Hass developed that a couple companies have been making into a effective coating product for rusted tin and similar situations. Acrymax is the best known. I've used it, and it works well when done correctly on a metal substrate. Like any coating it needs to go on a clean surface. But even on a rusty tin roof with asphalt and other cr*p it works well as long as the rust has been scrubbed and primed. Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer works well for this. If the surface is weak or has holes, its worth the trouble to embed in an polyester fabric mesh. Then top coat with a slightly denser forumula they sell.
