Just getting broken in...

 

Look at the curved body line from the headlight thru the door handle, primo!
The parking spaces here are 10’x20’ by code.

 

Fvck, the tail lights are in a different zip code than the head lights!

 

I want this to be a show on History, Discovery, TLC, Velocity, or some such. That shit would get a season pass on my DVR.

Nice work bud, thanks very much for sharing progress. I am 100% sure that, despite the frustrations, your job satisfaction with that is far greater than the cybersecurity audit shit I'm slogging through.

 

What's the foam? I need a easier/faster process for de-greasing than using rags & MEK or whatever I have laying around.

Crest theater

 

I 1st coat the metal with The Works toilet bowl cleaner. Its a decent acid to cut the mill oil. It's applied with a hand sprayer. After that I hit it with the foam cannon to neutralize the acid. The soap is just Dawn dish soap. I think it's 1/3 Dawn, the rest water. The pressure washer makes it foam like crazy.

 

You sure thats not burlesque theater you're trying to pawn off on us? Your tendencies have come into question on prior occasions.

 

Cool looking Venue!

 

how does it not rust after drying?

 

Raw steel will "flash" rust quickly. Just got to paint it soon!

 

Very. 30 years ago it was in poor shape and in dire need of rescue. It was the spot for alt films classics, etc. First place I ever saw a Sick and Twisted animation festival (think Bambi Merts Godzilla). Full restoration about 15 years ago.

 

Exactly.
One of the reasons I build utility trailers. A 50 foot paint job is just fine. No one expect to see a rare shade of Imron on my trailers.

 

Just a simple 1" x 1" square tube welded into rack and bolted to the sides.

 

I nad my fist date with my fiancé there. I had planned on taking her to a tapas place downtown that has live spanish guitar one night a week, but she had to change the day last minute. I did some quick searching and found Kansas was playing at the Crest so I got tickets. After the concert we went to the Dive Bar to listen to reggae and watch the mermaids.

Concert pics are mine, mermaid are internet.

 

I'm guessing you mean Tapa the World? Haven't been there for a while, but I caught a flamenco act there years ago. Fun place, great food.

Nad your fist date with fiancé? Was that how she became your fiancé?

Have you ever tried Aioli Bodega? If not, do.

 

Yep - Tapas the World. The live music used to just be a few nights a week but it looks like they do it every night now. Will need to go back. It took a bit more than Kansas and mermaids to get to this point, but it sure did help.

I haven't heard of Aioli Bodega but it's on my list now. I'm layed up with a broken leg and haven't been out of the house for 3 weeks. Figure I have 4 more to go before I can be out doing fun stuff like that but we'll get there eventually.
