What if it Snows?

The next shops I will go, will talk with the painters and get their opinions on how they will get rid of the rust and how they will treat the metal and prepare it for the painting and all the steps they take... I want to know how they will do it before I choose who will work on my car.
I don't think it's an easy job and there's a lot involved... A very good prep job is essential for a successful painting job... I am no expert... I intend to work on a small section inside the gate of the vehicle to see if I can get rid of that rust and prime it... The rest of the vehicle has to be taken care off by a real good professional who knows how to do it right.
There are no dents, no dings, no holes, no cuts no nothing.... the vehicle is all original... Guys congratulate me about it all the time... some even asked me if I wanted to sell it.... Even rusted the way it's... "poor thing"... looks like a white and brown cow... But it's all so "straight"...

 

I was going to Google it.. but decided to ask.. what is a "rock-hauling" Irish?

 

My eyes are burning... time to go to bed... Y'all be safe out there...

 

Lol there are the typical skinny Irish, and then there are the ones that you would harness up to a small trailer to pull heavy weight uphill. Lol I'm that latter.

 

We have the issue that regular dress shirts never fit our shoulders, or arms.....

 

Only way to completely get rid of the rust is sandblasting. You just don’t want to have a large hi pressure sandblaster used on wide flat panels as they will warp from the heat generated.

 

54-inch chest, checking in. Lol

 

My trucking weight topped out at 160 which was really fit for what it was. Somewhere along the line in battle with cancer and so on that went to 200 which was not normal. Then 265ish which was grostesque for my frame. I remembered my family of which several were dead by 40 due to that. Heart output and oxygenation was failing. Doc told me I needed to get that off, I told him no *&&^.

Got to 180 a few years ago and thought that was a little bit light. Settled out near there give or take 10. I think if i went down below 180 the body will not do well for a variety of reasons. I don't worry about it too much. Doctors have chopped on it so much. Snip, cut, saw, sew, burn, cauterize etc. Kind of like a old car thats been repaired with a prayer and pallet banding.

 

I do not as a rule wear store dress shirts. My chest wall was a big problem when young. Nature took care of that more or less. Takes a taylor to fit a shirt properly. But if it's big enough I toss it on and call it good. I probably squeezed into a suit three times in life for really important days. Its not my favorite activity.

 

Thats classic, time for bed you.

I used to have that issue after about oh... 2000 miles straight through. Lots of water on a rag and bed. I think somehow the eyes have had enough and they get to hurting.

Incidentially the eyes contain the absolute maximum of nerves so that they can protect themselves against anything that could hurt them by blinking etc. It happens to be the most painful anywhere on the body. The eye surgeon injected argon gas into the one ball to get the retinas put into place and eliminate debris and that took me right out of the knockout. They had to deliver a round two and continue. They were very surprised i came online from under that knockout medicine. It really hurt.

NExt time they will plan on paralyzing you dont come up from that until they counter that medicine.
