You interested in going to a blacksmith shop auction in Terrabonne Oregon for me? they have a shear and press brake that they listed terribly so should be an excellent deal...

Deaf...auction. Do not work . If I was close enough to read lips, the mike is in the way.. Maybe now it might be easier?
It'd be a nice drive...

I can't imagine the line for that type of equipment would be more then 1 person deep.... I'm going to give a shot at online-discussion with the auction company....
For today's temptation.... I dismissed the LS because I couldn't think of a Buick they put it in..... Buick Rainier... yeah, I get it, homologized product .... but still, it is the one, ready-to-go motor I have for it.
starting the process, the goal is I need to tape nothing to spray it.... I know it's 3 weeks but some things are going to be a fight so might as well just get it done. I also want to finish the metal work (floors, corners) before it gets blasted
First is the rear gate - most of this is for later reference
Random post.... or "what I did instead of breathing rust this weekend"
took these out, got them dirty but also got a light for it
2009 CRF450r is unique - it's the first year of EFI (which I love), and Honda only made one stator. There is a enduro bike and a race bike.... I have the race bike... but it has the big stator so I can add lights
my bike, cleaner
my friend's bike
both bikes cleaner
why, you may ask, did I clean his bike... well, the story goes like this - I was told a trail was easy.... it was not but he was a trooper - and only whine a lot yesterday about how much he hurt.....
that said, 92 mph is the top speed of my bike as measure by GPS.... which is cool as I was told slower, but I was also told it got better fuel economy... 1.4 gallons for 25 miles... still, what a blast
back to Buick rust
oh what a pain it was to get these off.... GM hardened the screws.. which is great unless they rust in place then strip out. Thankfully heat them red then drill them out still works
sometimes I wonder if a good rattle would make it crumble to dust
floor patching - yes I bought a huge patch for two, small fixes - however, it cost the same and heaven knows I need the metal for more patching
interestingly as far as floor is concerned - the rear is garbage and requires complete replacement and these little spots - however, the rest is pretty solid .... yes, I'll be welding for a month but it isn't terrible
this will be the biggest pain because it is part of an area I need to fix
took the dash apart so the blasters can knock the paint off the dash
door handles are off
I'm going to make a die to replicate the braces then simply replace the entire floor
I still don't know if I'm pulling windows from the door.... the windows work very well and if I mess with them - the odds are really high I'll break unreplaceable parts..... but we will see
oh and it appears I need to make custom pieces for the missing bit here.... nope, no one makes a replacement and they are not the same as Chevelle
I still need to do floors but I'm going to work on building a die for my press brake so I can make new floors - it gets blasted the 25th, so between the press and the Corvette.... it gets to sit outside for a little bit

I'm loving this, I can't wait to see it in paint! than you for not planning on putting an LS or SBC in it! Buicks need Buick engines!
