What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2020]

We've tried the bribes. No luck yet. Hopefully he'll come around with time.

have you thought about removing that green monster that is over the poor dog's head when going into the house?.....

That's his favorite toy. He won't get it off the top step.

Put this up.

Went together ok. I have a leak at one of the hydraulic fittings. Think it might be the copper crush washer, at least I hope it is.

Another copy/paste. And borderline progress.

I thought it might be prudent to put new plugs in. I think the current ones are from 2016. They looked pretty good, but gap was .060" and the fan shroud calls for .050".

Then I dumped 8 oz of oil down into the cooler. Should have dumped 8 more, it took a while to build oil pressure and my filter was completely full. Forgot to plug this, finally put a boot over my shifter.

I'd forgotten about this hot mess too, the mount failed back in May of last year and I forgot about this highly effective ghetto rig.

You can see how it failed here.

This is a parts store hangar that I added a lateral brace to. I zapped a chunk of angle iron onto it and plopped a couple extra welds to hopefully reinforce it and keep it from separating.

I'm not super happy with this. It's not much better than what failed me last season. I may restart from scratch here.

You can see I put the hose clamp back in there too for a bit of redundancy. Toward the end of my stint, someone decided they wanted to help.

I told her to stay back because the car was dirty, so she found a solution. And if this isn't a sight for sore eyes I don't know what is. Having the car back on all 4s.

Tomorrow I'll clean it up and look to getting the cool suit cooler built along with the MC brace. I dreamed up a super simple design.

Started a work bench/storage table build in the garage. I designed the work bench to be more than six feet long and 27 inches deep with hardwood top and wheels. The bench has three shelves. Each shelf holds ten ("10") milk crates. Meaning I should be able to hold thirty milk crates on the workbench when completed (10 milk crates/shelf x 3 shelves). Additionally, I am using six foot ("6' ") sections of threaded rod (1/4"-20) to run under each shelf to reinforce/strengthen each shelf. I represented to my supervisor (AKA my wife) that this project would use existing materials. As a result, it took me a bit longer to get things sorted but I used a hell of a lot from my scrap bin.

I still need to apply a finish, fabricate wheel supports,install wheels, install hardwood top and fabricate/install 1/2"-13 levelers. I will try to post pics when I am a little closer to done. With 30 milk crates of storage, I may finally be organized.

Thanks for reminding me I work in the shithouse. 🙄

Now you can go get more crap!

Right next to the other "button" that dudes seem to have a hard time finding 😉

Closer to $8k if you factor in licensing and insurance.

Did you hop over the border by chance?
