I like to watch a good TV show about building cars on a saturday morning to get my motivation up.
OR watch a youtube video.
Guess I grew out of cartoons.   

I know what ya mean though. When I got my car drivable I lost all motivation to do anything else.
Hell I cant even clean the garage and its been a year . Its coming back though but projects are getting stacked up .

check the directions on the paint can and do not spray if the temperature or the humidity exceed the recommended spraying temperature & conditions.

I have a dual inexpensive $10 gauge in my garage for temp and humidity.  Also make sure your compressor tank is drained of water and your inline water trap is up to snuff.

Don't want water spots in or on the primer.

I do have a temp. and humidity gauge on the wall in the garage, It was 65 degrees last night. I also use a air dryer on my air system.

Chopper......No not yet....Still need her to finish sanding...Then she can primer , then  block  sand and get ready for paint ...so i'll keep her a while ...... I have been really fortunate that she  loves car related stuff...she always making stuff out of old car parts
and always around old cars,,,having  2 boys she kinda   always  did car stuff with them  and it  then grew into the old cars

FATnLOW. You got the best of everything going on right there.  Keep her happy. Chopper I feel your pain, but take my advice and don't even talk about your progress on the car to your wife. If she is like mine she will ride in the car when it's finished, but she don't want to here about the build, the conversation bores her about the same as sewing a dress bores me. On another note I did find a bit of momentum in the form of running the brakes lines on the Buick. Most everything is ran except a few items I will need to order. Now back to being lazy.

Ghost, I'm glad you found a peice of yours. I had every intention to sort through more parts. When I walked in the shop late this morning it looked like a bird sanctuary.  So I went home, found my old Crossman. It took me 15 mins to get my eye and gun sighted, but I got 14 of them little bastards. Spring they tear away the insulation at the eves and make nests (and fly in)

So later I got two motors moved, said the hell with it and went back home.

I found a little of mine last night but not any tonight. I still need to work on my 38 to finish getting it ready for he Knoxville Nationals.

[chopper526]

Ghost, that is good advice. Every time I tell her about the car her eyes glaze over like I'm talking to her in Chinese and just gives me that nod that says "that's nice, dear".
FATnLOW, I have four boys who have little more interest than my wife. They appreciate cool cars, but turn a wrench? Nahhhh!
As long as the weather holds out I am going to start transforming my end bay into a makeshift paint booth. I have just about everything I need to prime my coupe, I am shooting for one day next week, hopefully Wednesday. I chose the U-Pol beige, that way it will cover easily if I paint the car yellow or black.

Holly crap CHOPPER  We are still getting snowed upon and your out painting what is wrong with that lol lol  vette59jdwl

[FATnLOW]

Just finished  sanding the 33  ...  firewall and cowl were tough    3 1/2  days and done...but mommy says got go around one more time to make sure...

  Chopper let us know  how the U-POL  does....

      it"s 12:45 here and it's beer time...
  Every one have a good weekend...Im' going to a swap meet tomorrow  hope it's rewarding.................

[62131]

Fatnlow  I used a product from Tamco part # HP5311  it is a self etching primer and it also kills any rust that you might have missed down in the bottom of the pits that sanding wont get to.  Hope you find plenty of goodies at the swap meet.

[sammons]

FATnLOW did you find what you were looking for at the swapmeet?

[FATnLOW]

No....Was looking for some Boyd e star wheels...have a 2 15 inch wheels,,, looking for  2 more  14 or 15 inch...been looking for a long time... didn't buy a thing...the wife scored  on a bunch of stuff for her auto related  nic-nack projects  for her lamps and clocks ...but it was a really good day to get out and do some looking and visiting
