hello My name is Greg . I am 50 years old . I have worked with the airlines and worked in aircraft manufacturing since 79. Metal bond to machine shop as well as hanger line heavy maintenance . Play a bit of guitar , not often at all and used to draw very well . I build model airplanes the flying kind that are called control line . hence the name string jobs . I have too many projects and not enough hours in the day . Right now its 100 degrees out and the same for cast for weeks and months . Yikes ! I was in the midst of a major garage overhaul and now this heat . I had the palace wired for more power so i can finally run some equipment . air tools and the like . I want to get my 58 Cadillac running again and take it to the next level . Candy flames flake top and have my friend Walt pin strip it and do the flames. I am thinking Perl white and tangerine flames astro supreme and wide whites .
Welcome aboard from Maryland........... Cool cars to have fun with between the Buick and Caddy. Hang in there, the scorching weather will p***.......
Thanks the 56 buick my Dad bought it new ! I wish I could say it has been garaged the entire time . We were lucky as kids to have him keep it ! This fourm is so fast moving . I posted a item about the 58 cad's power ***ist mastercylinder and cant find it . I went back 3 pages . I'll have to find the search.
Thanks guys ! I posted this bit on one thread and no responces , I thought it was kind of funny so I will post it here . unbleavable stupid Reminds me about the time my brothers elk would not turn off . all of a sudden everybody is a expert mechanic . I sitting there while it goes ka putt putt ka putt ka putt like for I don't know for how long just dieseling . some guy says just put er in gear . OK Ill try it , ka putt ka putt . then another guy says put yur foot in it that will kill it , OK ka putt ka putt ka putt putt . then I flip the ignition to ON accidental or just because everybody was giving me orders and I am trying everything like a jerk and it starts burning rubber and smackers in to the car in front on me. I knock it six feet out of its parking space ! security guard standing there , this **** is funny after wards not when it happens . __________________ Howie
Thank you . I was thinking about finding a different one , a little more car related . I have done most of my wrenching on aircraft . everything from fighters to cargo aircraft. Engine run up qualified . log book review and airworthiness release . and taxi and radio qualified . Structural Repair is my area of expertise. So I was going to change it to some car in flames or something but this avatar sums me up best as an aircraft wrench. Glad you like it ! I guess I'll keep it
