It looks out of context.....for ME
"Like" WHAT are you doing?
I would have just sent something more ME,
Kool, Great, Groovy, or even "That's SO Good I'm going to Steal That Idea!!"
It doesn't look like I sent it.
Carry On, I do like your progress !

I wish I could blame many Strange Things that happen here on my friend Al Kohall........
Haven't had any beers for over a week and a half. All my Rusty Iron Junkie Friends are staying home with the Shelter In Place Order.
Maybe I'm having the "DT's" or Cabin Fever.......LOL
.
The only other person I have seen is the postman, dropped off the shifter from Russell.
Going to get out of the shop and house Saturday. Going on a Parts Safari.
Maybe that will help. But I have had 3 strange emails and texts going and coming in today.
Peace Out.

today was mostly cleaning the shop and reorganizing. The next step for both the Corvette and the Buick is bodywork so I opened up some floor space
but onto the car first, resolving the power steering issue (I didn't)
then I took some thinking time on my dirtbike
then got these for free, yes, downhill is in my future
I guess I own 2 Jeeps now, I think I overpaid
pulley install starter pack
then I found the right pulley - too bad the pump is too small for what I'm doing
back to the pump
the problem is the pump is about 1/4" forward - and there is no room to go back...
I still need to resolve the alternator issue but that is for another dayDoing it all wrong since 1966

let's start with the air cleaner
this is what's hitting
had to dig in my fitting bone pile for a 90* elbow
fixed
still need to buy a filtered top.. what I have is too think and too cheesy
epoxy time
cut a bunch of strips
then start plying them on there
and inner fenders the aluminum is meant as a backing. I could have used wood, but that would require coating both sides.
starting to refine my technique on this side
somewhere I read that using glass to coat the strips would help. It does
the steps.... first dump some resin on the glass then put glass strips on the glass
let it soak (maybe 30 seconds max)
flip it over
then stick it in place
it's a messy task, but once you stick it up, let it adhere for a bit (push it onto the place), then come back a minute or two later and push it again to get the resin to come through. Tomorrow I should finish... tonight was hole-filling, so it was only one layer.... next lay up I'll do a couple more layers and that should hold it. The entire goal here is strength. I'm going to rubberize coat it so it will be unseen once done

I feel itchy from here... bleh fiberglass... nice work though!"I am not what you so glibly call to be a civilized man. I have broken with society for reasons which I alone am able to appreciate. I am therefore not subject to it's stupid laws, and I ask you to never allude to them in my presence again."

bracket number 3?
mounts too low, but I can make it work with some welding and stuff - the biggest thing, I need to move it forward enough to clear the lower radiator hose
time to start sanding...
fender isn't terrible
the door
gaps
the only metal part on the outside so I used proper metal tools
much better
for awhile it's going to be rinse/repeat for body work. The gaps and such are going to take a lot of time... ah wellDoing it all wrong since 1966
