Northern Virginia Roll Call

Thanks.

 

The pink cow is the best-est.

 

I used to live near there.

 

Awesome! Love me some "Dust in a Baggie"...well, not literally. Lol. My dad & I just love watching him flatpicking. Amazing! I didn't even know he was coming around here. How was the show?

 

That was 25 years ago. We went down to Asheville in 2020. My how it's changed. We had plans to visit Chimney Rock, but the pandemic cut the whole trip.

Still like the area though.

 

If anyone needs a like new exhaust off of a 3rd Gen DCSB, let me know. Free.99. I took it off the truck when it had less than 100 miles on it. If no one wants it, then it’s off to recycling.

 

Anyone put a ceramic coat on your truck? DIY or recommend someone? TIA

 

Recommend going to an actual detail joint. It's not cheap, but they'll use better products and get a much better base. I've done it to two cars and it was one of the best things I'd ever done.

 

recommend someone around here?

 

It was AWESOME. I haven't been to too many concerts before, but he absolutely shredded non stop. It was a pretty psychedelic show. I dont know if I'll ever see something like that again. Its crazy what he can do with an acoustic guitar

 

AQS in Ashburn is the only one I have experience with.

There's a franchise chain called Ceramic Pro. The have a location in Lorton I think. Maybe Newington. I don't know anything about their products.

If you find a place closer, let me know and I can maybe get a little information. Alot of the companies that sell the coating have criteria that need to be met by the shop that's doing the work.

 

thanks, no Ceramic Pro installer in Lorton any more… closest to Alexandria is Columbia MD.

 

Oof. That could be a red flag.

AQS was decent guys last time I was there. They use Opti-coat coatings which is good stuff.

 

Take a look at Tango Mike's detailing in Stafford.

 

What's goin on everyone? I know it's been a while. I'll be starting my own shop at home in about a month.

Some of what I offer.

Custom tig welding/ mig welding. Performance upgrades, engine work, maintenance/ repairs, cosmetic enhancements, minor body work (panel/ bumper replacement).

I've worked on nearly every model of vehicle, doing simple repairs to major.

Offroad vehicles are what I specialize in.
Toyota 4x4s I know like the back of my hand.

Just ask what you need done and I can mostly likely take care of it! Or can point you in the right direction!

 

Took time off and organized my garage this weekend!
Still need to organize my tools and make a run to the dump!

 

Nothing beats an organized garage.

 

My whole tool wall is getting an update this week too. Found better ways to organize my sockets and such. I have either thrown away or given away tools and material that have been sitting around for a couple years. I don't want to deal with cheap people, so I don't bother trying to sell anything. I'd rather throw it away to not deal with people. lol

 

If it's tools, see if the local high school shop class will take them. I hate dealing with cheap people just as much, so I just donate stuff if there's an option. I had bags of sockets that were homeless and I donated them to the school.

 

any extra 10mm sockets?
