Title: Garage Tour ???
Post by: 31Rodder on October 21, 2007 6:37 pm
I was wondering if anyone was up for a garage tour some saturday or sunday.  I was thinking if you have a project going we could set up a time to go to each spot for about an hour.  I have a co worker that is going to be building a roadster and this would be a good way to let him look at some other cars in our area and see how things are being done.

I was thinking late maybe early november for the fair weather garages.

Thoughts?

Jake graciously gave me the subrails. His model A frame "jig" is sweet for working on a body. Ya, I'm game for a tour, then again I was game for the pileup too. . . . :drunken:

I am not finding a good weekend to do this, November is a busy month especially when I work every other weekend.  I will see how this unfolds in the next week.  
This will be pretty informal and just a small group of guys coming around.

send me a pm  if you are interested in being a "Stop"

It's Christopher Lowell Blue.  really shines up the place and makes it more home-like, that's for sure!

Yeah, this month is too busy to get anything lined up.  and the next few are too cold for the fair weather garages.

I think PPG blue is precisely he color. For all you non norweigians that don't live in Norweigian Mafialand, Christopher lowell is our reference for something being really gay, so I don't think the paint color counts. WHat DOES count as C.L. would be the following that happened to me today:

"Hey look Joel, I got my carburetor finally in the mail from Ebay"

     "Sweet," says Joel

(Pete opens the box)  "Son of a bitch, I got a krylon rebuild! Thats gayer than AIDS."

     "Christopher Lowell gay?" says Joel

"definately," says pete. And then Pete rambles on about the shitty luck on ebay with carburetors he's had and Joel mumbles something about the Hot Rod gods being mad at Pete, etc, etc, etc, but at least our stairway is painted for the shop tour we aren't having. I can mount my krylon gay, i mean gray carburetor on the wall now too.

31 rodder--it's to bad you had to work that nite or you could have  enjoyed some of the free beer!

Post by: racerjohnson on December 19, 2007 6:53 pm
I was a little slow on the draw, I was napping, got a phone call, drove to the shop, everybody had left 60 seconds before I got there!

I still enjoyed the free HAMMS after y'all left.

Oh, wait, I bought it.

But I did manage to rig up a cardboard windshield while I was consuming. Pinstriper has pics. That is the cleanest the shop has been in awhile and its not done being painted yet!! Maybe by the toppers show.

This is the most action this board has seen in a while.

I had a buddy from Grand Forks come down and we went to 3 places on Monday afternoon so he could see how some things are set up.
So you guys didnt miss anything.. don't fret
