Thanks, I'm really happy with the stuff. It's quite cheap and you can buy it by the half pint which is good for several pair of manifolds. I have the motor pretty much ready for paint so that should be done this weekend.

Hey Rob
Update:
Im jumping through Hoops for the Bank on refinancing my house and My X they have me preaty busy looking for papers and stuff some of wich goes back more than 14 years ago!
Wasn't able to finish fence up and Yesterday was a Perfect day to put in fence posts absolutely no wind perfect for pulling strait string lines and I had to let the whole day slip by being stuck inside doing paperwork all day, oh well maybe next weekend.

Cant wait for all this BS to be done and get back to work on my car

Thanks for flying AA Doug Im glad it was uneventful things are likely to get ugly on AA soon though.

People are just Pissed they are being forced out of there pensions when we gave up MILLIONS in concessions 10 years ago and we have been working without raises since and now we are getting told give more or else Last CEO already said it wasn't necessary to give up pensions but the new guy is after them. How can one CEO say its not necessary and a new guy says it is and we aren't out on strike already is beyond me just goes to show you how screwed up the TWU is and the Pilots union not to mention the Flight attendants. Horton deserves to get his **** handed to him on a platter for all the BS.

EX CEO BOB CRANDAL had this to say I heard through the Grape vine "They have pissed the airline away" "They dont know what they are doing"
Makes sense to me the Mother F ers they will never get what it takes to run an airline I could bring about concessions the employees could understand and would back without cutting pensions and without cutting pay and get this airline back on top with 97+% on time arrivals and departures but these idiots running the show NEVER WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guarantee it!

But i'm 2nd generation with 30 years experiance what do I know?

Sorry to hear the AA situation is getting ugly Dennis. I sure hope things work out somehow, especially the pension component.

Nice to see you back safely Doug, look forward to hearing about the trip.

So I painted the nailhead that nasty Buick green the other day, not the nicest color that's for sure. In fact, my wife came into the shop and when she saw it said, did you do that on purpose? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Now I need to paint all the brackets, pulleys, etc.

Rob that looks like winter mint green. Almost painted my first truck that color!! I like it anyway.
What I noticed more than that was the support on the crank snout. Good idea. Have a great week guys!
Sorry about the situation Dennis.
