A few shades to lite for me .. But thank you...
I painted the wife's. It is a pretty easy process: base coat, wet sand, clear coat, wet sand. It like 20 bucks in supplies.

What's wrong with Ebony?!
Cooling fan motor crapped out.

First Brandy got sick of me smelling like molasses, so she bought me these.
Should come in handy with the looming Ebola outbreak too.
The block has crawled out of the ooz after 3 weeks and I am ecstatic with the results. Paint oiled, and will try to get it to the machinist to have the cylinders honed this week.
Some Additional parts I let soak for a week and hit with a fresh coat of paint.
Put the crank, cam and pistons down for a soak today.

If a thread like this exists, please feel free to delete it and direct me to the proper place :top:
On another forum I'm part of, there is a thread where people can post the more average stuff they have done to their vehicles on a daily basis, instead creating a completely new thread... Just a fun way to pass the time and see what everybody else is up to...
Great idea for a thread, thanks for posting it

Forge I shot you a PM

Thanks to Sherm, Mark and Alex for coming out! We had a blast! Keep a lookout for the more formal event this January in Sterling.
wish I wasn't traveling. I need to make the next one

Pulled the head out of the molasses bath today after two weeks. Powerwashed, baked at 200 degrees for 30 minutes (don't tell brandy), taped, painted, and oiled.
Sorry Ali no orange decided to go with year collect black.
just need to replace a valve guide on cylinder one and it will be ready to reassemble.
for the guide I plan to heat the block and freeze the guide, hopefully that gives enough play to press it in with my 3 ton press.

I didn't get to name my car, Brandy told Ali she like Watson, and that made it offical.
Hmmmmm no one is replying. I guess they all named them :hmmmm: -
Do want!
and it's about two inches longer than that smart car of yours.

I left this with the block and head going down for a molasses bath. I decide to take a peak and see how it was doing today.
This was what I found when I popped the top, I guess that means its working
Here are the pieces hosed off they are sqeaking clean, but going to drop for another week to finish off the trouble rust spots in the water jackets and thermostat housing. Very impressed with the results of a $10 bottle of molasses and some water versus $150 to have it hot tanked.
hope to be painting them next weekend:top:

Came across this sweetie, while doing my saturday morning craiglisting. Looks clean, and all the little odds and ends have been done to make it a reliable weekend toy.

Chrome is not my thing!
Only have the driver and passenger door handles left on brandy's mini and all chrome gone:top:

Great read! If you ever need a spare set of hands, I'm cheap labor(beer and pizza). Of course, I'm sure there are a few of us here like that... :top:
That's the currency I work for as well
