Lol. I like that show but it's wore out I its welcome.
Now...let's get back to posting those pics!! I can only take so much "wooooooooo!" Alright guys, I have to get out to the shop. Still don't have a computer hooked up out there so I do my parts ordering and research on the house office computer. I did some experimenting with wet blocking and buffing a section of a quarter panel yesterday, I hated that clear for spraying but it does cut and buff nicely. I think today's focus will be trunk lid and hood. The hood has some issues, it will keep me busy for a while. Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement guys. The tv show stuff is maybe a little bit fun for a little while, but I have a feeling they would rub me the wrong way, digging for drama, scripting fake conflicts etc... If I could do a straight forward show, honest life with no scripted bullshit it would be ok. But for now I'm just focused on 2015, and trying to make it a break out year. I want to prove that I can support the family with this business. I need to continue to develop my processes, keep looking for products that work well for me... stuff like that. Because if products are working well for me then the customer is getting more efficiency and quality for his dollar. OK, enough jibber jabber, time to get crackin.
Something clever here.

Having worked, played and BSed with you for the last 10 years on a daily basis, I'd have to say that a TV show could never do justice to your story.
Keep pumping them cars out ND.
I have a yellow looking track machine that should be rolling out of the shop for the weekend.
Maybe it and the yellow "Snow Hammer" can meet up and do what they do best.
Time for me to get "crackin" to!

This is exactly the response I expected from you, Dave. The consummate professional, exceptional human being, husband, father, uncle &/or friend ! As always, I wish you & your family, every success & the deserved rewards, of this great ADventure.

Yes sir they are! Spin a car right around, go straight sideways or what ever. Very handy.
Like everything else in the shop that has rollers under it, we took these apart before even using them and I packed all the bearings with good grease. They glide so nice on a clean shop floor.

Yep, I had a set on the wrecker for those cars in a driveway with the drive wheels pointed in or no way to get out of park.

I won't deny it: jealous of the talent level. Very nice.

Color is gorgeous, and I can't fault the power train, either.
