Good Morning All!
I was lucky enough to see that even though they were in repairs and there was scaffolding and some drop cloths in areas. I like the analogy, "I'm looking at Art" honey....

Good morning to all, the flash bulb trick is one I’ve never heard of
Hey Mitch remember putting the old flash bulbs into the backup lights and have your friend see if the lights work for you?

I try for around 75 ish hard to really tell what I have into a distributor because I usually clean a few at a time and some have drying time for paint also.
But no real overhead though.

Simply one of the most amazing things I have ever seen
I always get a kick out of the airbag under the seat or whatever the shop co-worker is sitting on, those guys go flying, wouldn't try that myself.
Never gets old!
We used to mess with friends that had junker drivers that were on there last legs and fill the headlight bulb up with acetelyne. That was a blast! Literally!

Well you guys know how I have explained race trailer is already loaded and ready to head South? Well Jodi calls in last night explaining for the house offer she needs abstract and well documents this morning that are located in filing cabinet. Yep, cabinet is in pre loaded in trailer about 1/2 way up. She needs em this morning so guess what I get to do? Arghh, Epic fail. I considered utilizing the standard, poor planning on her part did not constitute an emergency on my part rationale but wisely opted not to.

Agreed
I always liked the charged condenser sitting around...."hey hand me that condenser on the workbench"
Here was my fun yesterday, wish I would have left the rotor inside the stator and tried spinning that just in case binding was the only issue. I didn't hear anything or see a spark of any kind when jumping the armature so I'm pretty sure the motors' toast. Good thing I bought that new controller lol!
Yep that will wake someone up, we used to do the same thing in the avionics shop with capacitors, good times!
Im charging $50/hr when i work on long term projects, the Firebird for example. Owner gets a deal and i can work as many or few hours as i wish. He said, not to push it, as body shop is in no rush to get it in until snow falls.
That sucks, hopefully wasn't buried too deep (Karl, I'm testing your backreading level).
You did avionics also Rich?
