1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Speaking of that Datsun, I saw an awesome Mitsubishi pickup taking the kids out for pho last night. Slammed, and in otherwise OEM+ condition. Gorgeous rust-free looking truck. I'd love to do something like that.

 

Drove a bunch of mini trucks in high school. Almost bought one for myself. Isuzu had a sweet little truck. The Mazdas were cool, even if they were Ranger cousins. The Mitsubishis / Dodge D50s looked like the Mazdas. S10 was kinda lame, but quite a few V8 swaps driving around helped.

 

big chungus isnt the right name. Thats detective dangle.

 

This looks like fun:

 

See there's zero need for that not when you can get 350 rubber gloves for 10 bucks at the Freight of Harbors, home of the discerning automotive enthusiast.

 

No no no Special Officer Doofy

 

Hell yeah, that's enough for one POR-15 job, and one FiFi almost every day of the year!

 

That's some good hot sauce baby

 

Here in the wet PacNW, i used to get all my axle housings and other suspension stuff powercoated. It started getting expensive over the years (plus touch ups were a pain), so i switched to Rustoleum. Since then i’ve never looked back. I’ve sprayed complete multiple frames. I always use a gloss black because after about 5~10 years it faded out to a handsome satin sheen.

 

Rustoleum is great as long as you soak whatever your painting down in alcohol before you prime it. If it isn't 1,000% clean it doesn't matter what type of paint or how much you paid for it it's just going to eventually flake rust or corrode off. But as far as paints go rustoleum isn't that bad of a choice.

 

I might not be a meth head, but sometimes i wonder if i missed my calling.


Theres at least a 5* difference. And after dumping it on my hair, i found out i'm salty enough to be delicious.

 

Sometimes I feel like my employer should be using the actors from “The Office” in creating these training videos to make them more interesting.

i.e. Don’t drop the satellite, doofus!

 

Unless something got shipped in from a salt state, most everything here in oregon is rust free. Sure you can get rusty sheetmetal, but that's usually from vehicles that were manufactured before they started using galvanized panels. So it's pretty easy to get the metal clean. I'll usually clean off whatever i'm going to paint with lacquer thinner, then wipe down with a grease and wax remover, then go after it with a primer. I've sprayed a few frames with the old school PPG DP primer (from the 90's), and i really liked the stuff. Not so much their later DEQ'd formula. For lower budget builds, i've kinda quit using PPG. It was just too expensive. I did buy a quart of SPI (Southern Polyurethanes Inc) epoxy primer last year. It's difficult to spray without getting mad orange peel, but i'm new to their product so i'm guessing that i'm just using it wrong? What i do like about their primer is that it's easy to block sand. It's almost like it's halfway between a primer and a surfacer. It also costs waaaay less than PPG. And rustoleum is just plain inexpensive compared to either.

 

Cheaper than rustoleum.

 

Or you could just use some Fanta.

 

Yep, what he said. I wash everything down in denatured alcohol (recently renamed "Fuel" by Lowes (?)) before spraying with Rustoleum. I then use Rustoleum red primer for rusty metals followed by whatever Rustoleum gloss color I decide to use. Over the years this process has produced the most consistently positive results. Here's another tip, get yourself a can rattler rather than trying to shake it by hand.

 

LaGuardia is always a shit show. Taking it up a notch today. Blame it on Debbie

 

They should put billiard tables in the sky club lounge to pass the time.

 

You should see the line to the skyclub these days. I’m channeling my inner @ssdog and walking the terminal. It’s 2 miles from one end to the other. Lap 2…

 

dude that's crazy. I'm down with hot. But shit. That's crazy hot. I mean, I can do like 5-10 chili peqines in a sitting. And some of those are wild, but it's like a nice wild.....

 

Did you help build the James Webb??? Lol cause that'd be FUCKING DOPPPEE

 

No, just a pic my company acquired for training purposes, but obviously it happened!

 

@FishNinja Looks to be a Lockheed fuck up with a weather satellite…I’ll bet their union rep got them a raise out of it for emotional distress instead of getting fired.

LMFAO

"failed to instal 2 DOZEN bolts...." llllaaaa mmmaaaaooooooo

 

I see you have the bottom side capped... Is that a leak into the trans warmer/cooler running out?
Mr.Bee's laboratory is open every day isn't it

 

the hole for the temp sensor is feeding the trans tube through a hose.

 

Dr Google says it's a lug nut for 22.5" wheels.

I'm trying to decide if I need to spend $200 on a different shelf for my grill. Turns out 32lbs of pork is pushing its limit.

 

build one.

 

Hopefully you don't get any flare-up from the right shoulder.

 

I just turned on the tv and saw that there’s a hot sauce symposium in portland this weekend. The only thing is i don’t really want to drive the 30 minutes to PDX.
