Engine 51

Magic Keyboard for my iPad. Really like this thing. A little spendy, but my wife made it an early Father’s Day gift.

That was great…thanks for posting!

Yes….absolutely.

Man, does that bike bring back memories…..great ones. Funny how you can forget things from childhood, see a pic and it all comes rushing back. Sooo glad you posted this!!

+100

Seeing the pic of that Ford rig sure brings back fond memories. This will be a fun one!

Where does one acquire this aluminum flashing?

Very nice, always liked these Fords.

I was hoping the Facebook post about that was wrong. Not good news. Hope he can get back into the swing of things.

Thinking the logo may be Skelly oil?

And you have been missed! Take good care of that arm (and the rest of yourself as well). Glad to have you back, may God bless.

Ok, here goes…had one of these as a kid. Would love one now to try and do it justice.

Do big rigs count in this thread?

I just read a post on his Facebook page that mentioned a possible brain tumor. I certainly hope that’s not the case….

Wondered the same thing.

And to that I say AMEN.

Ok, I’m game, I’ll get some and give it a go. Thanks for the tip.

Is that the same as Bondic, or is this something different?

Got plenty of that on the bench, have had for years. This glue was highly recommended and was supposed to “grab” in about 15 seconds…not so. That said, yes, back to my old CA glue and the accelerator. That method at least won’t ruin my paint as I know what to expect with it. Thanks for jumping in tho.

Super glue that is anything but. Won’t hold the part in place, but it will: melt the black paint off the piece I’m trying to attach and smear said black paint all over the front of the orange engine. Had to leave the bench before things got really ugly…..

One thing I am learning about this unit is that it looks like I will have to buy filters in bulk. The airflow in this thing really plugs the filters fast….but that’s OK, it’s doin it’s job.

Got this set up and have been putting it thru its paces. I am very pleased with its operation thus far. It does a great job of moving fumes (not a hint of paint odor in the shop). I will be using it a whole lot more in the near future as I am really backed up on my paint work.

That’s great to hear, glad he’s on the recovery road! Especially losing some of the numbness.

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered this spray booth. I got the optional 425 CFM motor. That option comes with a 5” discharge. I added an expander (5” to 6”) to make the duct 6” up and out thru the wall. I caulked the interior seams to seal it up a little better. It appears to be well made, looking forward to putting to work. Should be the last one I need to acquire.

Glad to hear that. All the best for a full and quick recovery!
