IS anyone getting anything done in this heat?

real sorry to hear that,just went thru it ourselves,its rough

 

I can't get anything done here in MO, it is still 90° at 9:00pm!!! I am leaning towards installing AC in my shop. Keep cool fellas!

 

98 outside.... Think I'll stay inside..

 

69 degrees with 55% humidity right now. I feel sorry for all you guys. Haha.

 

it was pretty hot in "The Valley" the other day, drove by a house with a bunch of free stuff out front, scored a box fan, it vented the garage nicely so i went out at midnight and laid some paint on my coupe, finished up at around 3am... ahhh!

 

Nope.......instead of working on the car, I'm working OT hours to pay for the AC bills.

 

72 and overcast here---getting a lot done

 

102 today... cooler than last one, nothing getting done here!! Just ordering some interior parts...

 

It's been in the high 90's here for the last month. I did get my exhaust manifolds built and all the garnish molding cleaned up and primed for my sedan. I have to work in short periods then in the house and in front of the fan.

Here in Denver it hit 100 again and that is 12 days of 100 or more.The record for one summer of 100 or more was 7 and we have almost doubled that already. I feel like we live in Arizona and we are not used to this heat

 

Bought a 49' ford two weeks ago.....(Friday the 13th).... Painted the body, engine bay, interior, found a new bench seat, rewired entire truck, rebuild carb, new dizzy, new coil, repainted frame, have title on way, order tons of parts (shifter, kingpins, cables, Changed oil, polished radiator, flushed coolant, re-hinged door.....yeah heat has slowed me down.....IT HOT AS HELL!.....HELP!! It does suck but I can;t stop....NEED TO DRIVE TRUCK

 

Nope! drove my truck into work tonight. Nothing like driving a hot rod to work!

 

Here are some pictures of my solution so I can work in the shop again.







Works very well, still have a little more work to do.

 

I need one of those

 

Its hard to hide money, aint it.

Nice A/C

Godspeed

If you install the AC system yourself it isn't as expensive as you might think. The materials are not very expensive after you buy the AC unit. Has taken about 3 weeks to get it installed. Labor to have it installed is what really cost.

BTW, nice 53 Chevy, looked at you build thread.

 

Playin' hookie from work... "I don't feel good"..
Must be all this heat...
I've been feelin' a little dizzy these last couple of days...

 

Broke 100 again this Sunday, managed to get the entire brake system rebuilt on my new project, took a couple gallons of water to keep myself from getting heat stroke though.

 

guy I know has a 4 car garage and a old church curtain to separate it in half. runs a window unit. last yr it was 85f in there when it was 105outside. could get a lot done like that.

 

Drove from Calif to Mich last week - it was 106 degrees at 10pm in Oklahoma City. That's crazy hot coming from 66 degrees on the Central Coast of Ca! The dogs were not liking it!

 

Lost about 12 lbs. this week,. all in SWEAT!
Pulled a bad (new TCI) TH350 out of the 34 Terraplane, and am installing an old unit I had laying around the shop, just to get the car out of here! Ain't easy doing it all yourself! Especially without a trans jack!

 

I was just pulling your chain, thanks for the compliment.
I am looking into the spray foam insullation for my shop, Maybe one day I can get A/C, but I still have plans to add two more bays.

Godspeed

I travel to the Dallas area a few times a year.

When it's in the low 100's I always tell my friends that I am going back to Florida to cool off a little.

On the west coast of Florida most of our day's in the summer are between 89 and 93 degrees and there is always a nice breeze off the Gulf of Mexico.

Staying in Dallas in the summer each day seemed much hotter then Florida for sure.

Down here we call it chifferobe weather. You get sticky drawers!

 

I'm getting less and less done every day lately. The Nap portion of my work/nap schedule has been growing. In order to not spend to much Nap time I have decided to replace the missing work time with Beer time or possibly more HAMB time or a combo of both.

 

I'm getting up early and thrashing until noon. Can't stand the heat of the day - especially these days.

It's all ot cars - my dd with 337K needed the intermediate and OD bands adjusted, then there was a sporadic miss under load, so changed plugs, and last weekend it was the EGR that had been keeping the check engine light on for the past 280,000 miles. Yeah, I'm sometimes slow to change out stuff, but every time I checked under the hood, the engine was still there.

I need to get back on my hotrod, dip the block, heads, crank and associated stuff in molasses, and finish plumbing the brakes. I'm hoping the brakes and steering are done by the end of the year, and next year get the engine and transmission together and in.

 

A lot of sweating, swearing, drawer swapping and BO going on here but not a lot of hot rod stuff. It will go from 103 to 10 in like a week all too soon.

Then it will be freezin, swearin, drawer addin and BO going on here but not a lot of hot roddin.

 

no high temps here had the wood stove going in the shop tonight, kinda chilly up here ,

 

Here in Arizona, we wear jackets until it hits about 80 or so. Car guys have to remember that heat is your friend. It evaporates the moisture and prevents rust. Yep heat is your friend.
Let's see, at about 9 this morning the temp in my garage was close to 105. But it's a dry heat. So dry that my shirt was soaked and I had to retire for the day. At least I don't have to worry about rust. Yep, dry heat. Didn't cook my brain. brian brane what?
