Got snow melting warm here today, 75° for about 30 minutes and then the 30mph on shore wind gusts began and dropped back to 65 in no time at all
I'll be pouring the beer I bet.@toolmanmike That Coke video seems to be doing well 300 visits and only one slightly objectionable reply. Your beer wager may be slipping away
Nope. She doesent care.O here we go! She will kill you if you drag a new bunch of cars home from the farm.
You're being generous. I was counting two posts but wasn't sure. I vote for you to be the judge!@toolmanmike That Coke video seems to be doing well 300 visits and only one slightly objectionable reply. Your beer wager may be slipping away
I'll bring you some porter anyway!I'll be pouring the beer I bet.
I will be too! Well 4 months before I turn 39Good on ya!
I retired from the military at 39 years old so no... there's not a age requirement
In my shop, I would simply clean all the grease and dirt off of it in the parts washer, then blast it in my blast cabinet. Maybe 20 minutes, tops....Haha yeah, but while it soaks, I’m putting together the engine. Why not let it soak while I’m doing other things? Worst, case it I have to wire wheel it, best case, I rinse it and dry it off. Either way, neat experiment
Yeah I don’t have access to the shared shop right now. Well I have access but everything from all the other buildings is shoved in there right now due to the squatters.In my shop, I would simply clean all the grease and dirt off of it in the parts washer, then blast it in my blast cabinet.

Hope so Pete, we still have quite a bit on the ground here. I was in Minneapolis this week and not a lot of snow there. Amazing what a few hours north will do!Hi John, I think this warm weather may have the snow gone by the end of next week
Gonna Barrett Jackson it?I think I can fix what I have...
See....Gonna Barrett Jackson it?
I'll tell you this. They sure designed and built B bodies a lot better then A
Yeah, My 65 Belvedere is built like a Tank.....Yet ain't all that heavy...I'll tell you this. They sure designed and built B bodies a lot better then A
They actually used zinc primer, and lots of supports, welds....lots of layered steel.....Meh...all that extra steel and frame?
Congrats...very deserving!!Well boys today was a big day for me, our COO made public my plans to retire this year. He sent out a Company Wide memo hailing my infinite greatness blah blah etc. etc. but more importantly he announced I would step away from day to day leadership of business and all things operations, effective April one I turn the reigns of the business over to a gentleman I have been working with since late last year. In the next few months I will focus on special projects and work on helping the new guy be successful in the transition. They want me to stay on until September and after that operate in a consultant capacity for the following months TBD. I am excited for the next chapter. Who knows I may go knock on DDs door and help him with his start up! Woo Hoo. I can confess tho, reading the e mail it seemed as if I was reading it in third person as I do not feel old enough to retire?
