That's cuz we haven't worked out that TDY yet. Actually I did work next to a Canadian RAF dude when I was deployed. He had a mustache with the ends all twirled up. And a Canadian RAF Major in my last unit.

Here's my old mustachio (it hadn't even reached it's final form yet):

How long did it take you to strip those wheel wells with a drill? I’ve got to do mine, but I’m not sure if an angle grinder would be better or worse.

LOL... all of the tools I used were off screen.

1. Heat gun;
2. Scraper;
3. Drill w/coarse wire wheel;
4. Right-angle die grinder with coarse stripper wheel; and
5. Grinder with purple stripper disc.

My shoulders are still sore... :eek:

Remember when the exhaust fell off? Seems it fooked the clamp at the muffler. Which I mangled when I took it off the other day. It was more cost effective to buy a whole flange/clamp setup than just a clamp.

Also my welding beanie arrived, fits a treat.

I should add that I cancelled my order with Mike's Montes due to an undisclosed backorder on a part... looks like I am going to test my hand at body work fabrication.

That pneumatic bodysaw is a great tool!

Seriously! Never used one before yesterday - b*tch ran away from me a few times. LOL.

The reduction in sparks was very welcome.
