Nah all is good. Me and a friend had his caddy, so ride was great. Got a couple hours sleep, everything out away, laundry done and spent some time looking at the Charger. I think it looks good when remembering how other cars were built.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Yes it does! Spent a bunch of time at the car wash before leaving Wendover. Laundry is done and making plans for finish fab so I can paint the chassis. Only 358 days until next WOS
Ran a ohm meter on it. 79-80 at full depression (empty) 25 - 30 at full elevation

Correct me if I am wrong but last time I was there, (no cars running, weather incident) it took more than one wash to be rid of it! First wash just gets the obvious stuff!

Well it has been a minute since I have had to stick weld 18 ga galvanized. I remembered instantly why I don’t weld galvanized! But the material was here and free and I needed some target stands! My Bee banner did not fare so well!

Not to mention the smoke is good for you, too
Looks good John. I could sure have used your talent building the hitch for the old truck.
North Dakota and me miss you.
Nothing like the smell of gun powder in the morning.
Paint thinners are the best. HO! and the smell of burnt din

92 Camry with 426K on it now has cold Retrofit from R12 to R134A Air Conditioning. Was somewhat of a challenge though. Lots of rusted stuck parts, and getting everywhere to flush the system was a PIA. Took longer than I thought, but doesn't it always ???? 
Blackened chicken... Nice
Very even patina Fred. Not everyone could get things so evenly burnt
Ah yes, and a big buck at the end of the blood trail!!
So, Most of you all know that I've been ( Retired ) for a long time now. I like to do (some) small jobs in the shop, when not doing my own thing. I like, maybe two small repairs a week, But it has been a Storm of customers lately. A/C retrofit for two days, tomorrow just a drive axel on a Honda Pilot. And, at the end of this week I get a MAJOR project. Have a guy from Church that has a 2011 F150 with the 3,5 Turbo Charged Ecoboost engine. Yup, needs all (3) timing chains, tensioners, guides, actuator solenoids and camshaft phaser gears. Ford told him $3800 . Supposedly it takes 13-14 hours to do, So for me, that may be 4 days or so. 
. I was able to procure all of the Ford Brand Parts online, for much less than can be purchased at the local Stealership. I will be saving him some cash..Most of the Engine must be disassembled to get to the timing works........

Doesn't sound like a fun job Mitch.So, Most of you all know that I've been ( Retired ) for a long time now. I like to do (some) small jobs in the shop, when not doing my own thing.

I'll post pics when I do it. It's an amazing looking timing setup when you get to it......
Yes. It will take a ton of cleaning. My friends have power washer attachments with verticle nozzles that can roll under the car. There are salt neutralizer sprays, body panels will come off, etc. Very bad stuff overall
My next project that I'll start on next week.
Oops!

Well, I like to keep busy. And... It's unhealthy just to sit in the Shop all day and Drink Beer.......
