Too cold to be spray painting in the garage this evening really, but I just wanted to get some black on the chassis. Predictably, it ended up with lots of flat looking patches & orange peeliness, but at least it's black. It's a pig to get everything covered when I can't reach underneath it properly. I'll give it a couple of days to harden up before I even try to flat it back & add a few more coats. It's my day off on Thursday, so hopefully I can paint the next coats during the day when it'll be a little warmer. You can see how much black dust was floating about by the stencils left on the floor by the the rubber mats I was laying on. I now look like an Al Jolson tribute act  |

Nowt to report for the last couple of days cos I've been finishing work late -thank you Black Friday online shoppers. If you're going to have a spending spree, at least be at home when we try to deliver it all. I've spent the last 2 days standing in ice cold rain, hammering on door after door, trying to write out cards when the paper's like wet papier mache, then putting the parcels back in the van. I keep shouting at the radio in the garage when the adverts are full of firms saying Buy our stuff now -our Black Friday sale ends next week. Even heard one car dealership refer to Black November Anyway, I've spent the time productively, stocking up on garage consumables on my way home from work each evening. Bought fresh heater cannisters, moisture traps & another litre, (9 aerosols), of gloss black. It's my day off tomorrow, so I hope to get another couple of coats on it all. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Typical -my day off & I'm feeling lousy. I've had a recurring stomach bug for a couple of weeks now. Not nice.
So no garaging today.
I did go there this morning though to take a few measurements. I bought a short length of stainless box section from eBay that I'll cut down to make a U channel, which I'll bolt to the underside of the chassis -there's only one spot where I can jack up the back end of the truck & it'll destroy the paint, so it's just a covering plate. I had to nip over to Loony's workshop at lunchtime, so I asked him to cut it down & drill it for me as my generator's getting a bit temperamental, plus I don't want grinding dust on my paint.
Had a quick look at the chassis -there's a couple of spots where I've added a smear of filler over welds to smooth them out & where I've sanded them, the paint's reacted with the red oxide underneath. So I'll flat most of the chassis back over the next couple of days & hopefully get a better coat on it all, probably on Sunday.
