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 pass.......
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 assist 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 crap 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
