Sadly if it doesn't have to be postponed again I'll take it!
I just posted a photo showing samples of the Testors paint per @Ddaddy suggestion to use a toothpick.

Just what they need is for 15K racing fans to get infected on the same weekend.

How can you tell the Toothpick was invented in Oildale?
If it were invented anywhere else, they would be Teethpicks.

CA is just a couple cents higher tax than PA and 87 is $2.12 hereThere's a pretty substantial Ca state tax in our gas prices. Supposedly for highway construction and maintenance. The money goes to the general fund rather than a designated gas tax fund, and it's rarely seen again.
It is just a Fuckkkk us here. I call it the sun tax......

Same and still working. Even though I dont agree that the State Colleges should be opening back up on Monday.
Wow. Talk here is its going to get worse yet.
I have been here alone for two weeks. Today I did go out to the Grocery store to buy necessities, today. I did put on mechanics gloves and a paint mask....But the looks I got....
. There were about 10 % others I saw wearing protective gear...But...... There are only 7 cases here in my County, but I guess people just don't get it... I'll bet it gets MUCH worse in my area Soon........

Be careful and stay safe.I have been here alone for two weeks. Today I did go out to the Grocery store to buy necessities, today. I did put on mechanics gloves and a paint mask....But the looks I got....
Parts to pick up tomorrow, one tire and a power window regulator. Now i have to figure out when im doing the jobs. Dont want to. But have to get them looked after.
Ya, I could see people snickering and I heard,,," Oh people are freaking out " . My normal self would have ripped into them, but I refrained....Dumb Asses....
I must shop at Wally World too much. I had a dozen Wal Mart only items on it. I sat down and ordered online. It will be ready tomorrow between 2 and 3. They will e mail me and I contact them when I will arrive. Bought and paid for. I will wipe down the packages when they get here.
I might be able to shake it if I catch it but I don't want to try. Heart surgery last July and my age in general make it a risk. I wouldn't want to give it to my family either.
I mean...Im in Great health and shape for my age. I'm not worried if I get it I'll die, But Damn. I am doing my part not to spread it... Just Befuddles Me. People are so self centered, or Stupid.....Sorry...Rant Over....
Paid $2.52 today here.
Hey all been another busy day here. Boy you stay closer to home and find plenty to do.
Did some work on the 55 Chevy today. It has a SBC400 and a head bolt was leaking anti-freeze. It was loose for some reason. Let it dry out a few hours then resealed it. All good no leak. Also had a slow leak of power steering fluid. We flushed it and added some sealer thinking maybe the gasket hardened from lack of use. I just need to drive it more.
Ya all stay safe!!

So took a couple minutes today after work to work on the Polara. I have solved my no spark problem, new coil, ammeter wired together. However, the ignition switch is bad for sure, still waiting on the new one to come in. But I got to checking, @toolmanmike is definitely correct. Timing is WAY off. When the piston is at TDC in the compression stroke, the rotor was pointing at number 7. So I adjusted it to point at the number one position per the fsm. Starting cracking. Still didn’t fire, has fuel, spark indicators showed spark at all 8 cylinders, Checked timing again, this time when at TDC on the compression stroke, rotor was pointing number 8. So I thought I just have left the dizzy loose, nope it was tight. So I reset it again, cranked again, coughed, tried to fire but stopped. Tried again, nothing. So I popped the cap off, rotor now point towards number 2 when it’s at TDC. So I left the cap off and hit the remote starter, rotor rotates a bit, then hangs up, then starts moving again.
im thinking timing chain is jacked or stretched. Thoughts?

This is the best thing I have read in a while and exactly what I have been saying to my wife and daughter for the past week.
2020 May be remembered by history as the year humanity changed...If we learn from it.
Unlike our parents and grandparents, we didn't face the tragedy of living through two World Wars; we avoided nuclear warfare during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and the Cold War. Now, our luck has run out.
With the Covid-19 pandemic striking full force across the globe, it's easy to stare in disbelief at the growing number of deaths. But the pandemic is here, and it will get worse before it gets better. How much worse depends on all of us. That's where the good news comes in.
The year 2020 will be remembered as a turnaround point in human history. Not just because many will die, but because the Covid-19 pandemic is offering us a chance to reinvent ourselves.
Wars force citizens of a nation to respond as one. When a country's citizens are under attack, they mobilize to face the common enemy. After the US joined World War II, towns ripped apart iron fences and collected scrap metal for tanks and armored cars; intent on beating the enemy, communities competed with each other in fierce collection drives. Fear galvanized action.
We now face a global enemy, one that doesn't identify its targets by religious, racial, gender or political choice; a virus doesn't care about maps and boundaries. What matters is that we are all potential hosts, irrespective of who we are or where we live. Under the cold lens of natural selection, the drama of life unfolds without moral judgment: it all boils down to living and reproducing.
The perversity of a virulent pandemic is that the affected hosts propagate the disease, accelerating the demise of members of their own species. Once infected, we can kill all who unwittingly cross our paths including family and friends.
Covid-19 will change us as a species. We must respond not just as nations fighting an enemy, but as a species fighting for survival. The virus will not wipe us out. But it is causing untold pain and loss, destabilizing global markets, and turning our daily lives into a surreal dreamscape. Our vulnerability and co-dependence are openly exposed.
Nature doesn't care about our arrogance. A tiny organism is forcing us to revisit our values, our divisions, our choices as we barricade within our homes with our closest family members and consider what will come next. We can taste the anxiety in our mouths, imagining what will happen if we lose internet connectivity, or run out of food and resources or worse, contract the virus.
We would be foolish not to embrace the central message of our predicament: that we must come together to survive, that we are fragile despite our capacity to create and destroy, that the tribal divisions that have defined our moral choices over the past millennia must be tossed aside for our own good.
We are entering the age of tribal override, the time when our species will begin to operate as one, as a human hive, working across the planet as a member of a living community of species and not as a destructive parasite. One tribe that embraces diversity and the common good.
We can already see the signs of an awakening. In Italy, a country devastated by loss, people sing together from their balconies, celebrating life and community. The internet helps, even as we distance from each other socially. Our children will miss school, their friends and teachers. We will miss our workplace, night life, distant family members, hanging out with friends.
Our global co-dependence is essential for our survival and for the stability of society, emotionally and practically. Where would we be without our health-care providers, and those who supply our homes with energy and heat, who keep the supermarket shelves full and the streets safe?
We must think collectively as a human hive, each of us playing an essential role. The first steps are simple: to be humble in the face of what we don't know, to be respectful of nature and its powers, and to work together to preserve not just our lives and those of our loved ones, but the lives of all of us in the hive, young and old, celebrating the gift of being alive.
