Stop in for a cup of coffee

I wish my 440 was low compression so I could put a blower on it. But the pistons are above the deck so I am screwed. My friend Terry has a B3 blue Dart with a blower. It was the centerfold in Mopar Muscle a couple years ago.

You forgot to paint the wall first!

Ha! Since you haven't been following along I'll tell you why. First I am getting all the signs hung and arranged where I want them so that I won't need to patch holes in the walls if I decided to move them around after it's all painted. I plan to take them down before painting and leave the holes I have made for reference when I hang them back up again afterward.

Well, while the GTS is over at the Speed shop I managed to finish getting the garage signs up on the wall...

I have dreamed of doing that in my shop but i don't because as long as i am doing body work and spraying base coats and clear coats in there i can't be decorative.

Clear Overspray is the worst and no matter how much you try to contain it, it gets EVERYWHERE

I have rented a paint booth elsewhere for the last two jobs but even just sanding makes a total mess

That's why my Shop is a Hodgepodge, if you will....

You are over complicating a simple project and making it take much longer than it should. This is EXACTLY how I would do it! Can we be friends?

?????

Is it sitting on a board attached to the house, or is it fully supported from the ground?

Yes! I do all my bodywork outside for two reasons:

1) It trashes the garage! Dust everywhere.
2) Neighbors LOVE airtools! Of course, it's so loud I can't actually hear what they are saying/yelling at me.

send me the blower.....

Okay, I can help with that. We're gonna get this bastard. What you do is make the nastiest sandwich you can think of. Like... tuna fish, onions, raisins, banana, mustard. That should do it. One bite and he will never swipe another lunch again!
