What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

Englishmen drink warm beer because Lucas made refrigerators too!

That was my reply if someone asked for clarification.
Decades ago I saw a bumper sticker on the rear of an Austin Mini, it asked "Why do Englishmen drink warm beer? Because they have Lucas refrigerators!"

 

[Hey-O]

Last coat of paint on the front bumper of my wall art and it's done. Mount the bumper and hang it on the wall, hopefully today.

TR-6 is my wife's second choice classic.

...after a 65 Barracuda with a manual trans.

Drilling the 10 holes for the lift install. This was flat out the hardest concrete I have ever drilled. Burned up a new double cut bit and finally had to resort to a quad cut, and it was still a PIA. What should have taken a couple of hours at most (allowing for the drill to cool), ended up taking two half days.

I've been working on and off for well over a year to find replacement options for 2 oil burning furnaces at the church.
Signed a contract over the summer for 2 new propane commercial furnaces.
But the oil tanks were both filled last spring so I negotiated a deal for them to come and do the replacement sometime this winter when a tank gets low on oil.

We decided to buy/install a 1,000 gallon propane tank in ground to avoid crossing tbe driveway with the supply line.

My son dug the hole and a couple local guys helped when we set the tank this week.

 

[Hey-O]

I got it done. I didn't round the corners on the front bumper because it wouldn't have matched the back. There was no way I was about to redo the back for an obvious more real look. I can atleast identify the year of truck it should be and it's the grill on those years I really like, a lot!! It's just for fun.

My next one. A cam out of an old Massey Ferguson tractor. A desk lamp, I think. LOL

Rearranged the garage from summer to winter.

Summer (well the snowblower is usually in the shed but I used it last week):

Winter: motorcycles up in the workshop on battery tenders, Charger against the back wall on a tender.

The big empty space is where Michelle parks...

Thank you! I actually thought about that!

I've never seen a propane tank buried around here Don. They are all above ground.

 

[Photon440]

A buried tank has some benefits; you don't lose any land area in your yard. And the tank is protected from accidents, or deliberate damage. Also the tank is at a more even temperature - no more hot summer days building up tank pressure.

Plus it looks better when it looks invisible.

 

[dadsbee]

Better than an above ground tank on a -50C day that no propane comes out of! That said, I've never seen a buried tank in Ontario..

 

[Photon440]

I really haven't either...I have never seen a buried tank.
Most people around here use piped in natural gas anyway.

Speaking of Chinesium & Christmas. Better half hung garland&lights out front. I did the electrical part. This blasted timer has to be 30yrs+ and still going strong. K-Mart.

Just a big pain….. boot seal lasted 5 days. It’s the tube bearing , it’s bad..

New washer Day before thanksgiving and the wife is happy. Only 6 year’s of use.

Went to look at a 66 Charger project.

Interesting car- 361 with AC and disk brakes..... in mauve from the factory.

Gotta be low production.

Lots of pitting on the trim and odd rust under the windshield (not in the channel) and beside the rear window (again, not in the channel), both lower door corners, trunk seam, and a few other places.

Quarters were great, though.

Dash lights and headlights untested but switch was out and radioshack toggle hung under dash.

Too much work for the price.

If the windshield wasn't rusted and all the chrome pitted.....and 1/3 lower price.....

 

[Runcharger]

383 slots in the grille support even...
