Look at those clean fingernails! get to work , man
i kidd, i won a door prize at a Cruise In the other night cuz my fingernails were dirty! it was Fast Orange! LoL
Workin on cars for a living as i do, they are rarely clean. Any Mechanics in here will know.

But, on topic
One of my Fabricated Valve covers was seeping oil at the back rear corner, after swapping out the gaskets it still seeped, upon closer investigation one of the welds had a pin hole in it, I just JB welded it, shes good now.

Ive been wanting a cup holder in my car, thinking of ideas, i was gonna make one, then i found one for a bike or motorcycle, since i have my shifter on a pedestal, which is tubular it clamped right on there and worked out perfect !

Lol I know right! Usually they are dirty, greasy, etc. I keep fast orange or similar handy but it never gets all of the grease out! It's fun chasing my kids around with mechanic hands lol! Just had gotten home from work and try to clean my hands prior to leaving to not have muck on my wheel. With my dad being a diesel mechanic, his are always filthy...it's funny when he's on vacation because by the end his hands are clean!

Prepping my Cutlass for an engine/trans removal as part of my teardown. Since everything is so rusty and practically every time I even consider turning a wrench on some of the bolts on the underside, one breaks, I broke down and cut the exhaust between the manifold and the catalytic converter. The engine and the entire exhaust will get replaced anyway. I also attempted to get the drive shaft out....but at this moment, its not moving (see a previous post of mine looking for suggestions...).
 
picked up a mint bezel,hard top quarter windows, mint upper & lower sail panels, and a mint back seat bottom for the Chief.... such a shame that the car was in such nice shape other than a minor front end hit.... told the guy I may come back for ore before he separates the body from the frame for a roundy-round car...
