Boats from work.

Interesting thread, great work.

Black and clear gel sprayed.



Next up is a Cobalt spot in. I gelled it last night, have to get it ready for paint.

I forgot to take a pic of the Cobalt last night, so here it is all sanded and buffed.

Great color for any boat.

I'm off the starcraft again, need to get a big camper fixed. Apparently, there was another one parked in front of him at the lot and the wife didn't know that the Jeep was in neutral while being towed. She unhooked it and it rolled back into this one. I'm 2 days into peeling off the stupid plastic film, this stuff sucks.



I tried the eraser wheel, but all the melted plastic and glue locked it up and spun the tool while the wheel was held in place. So I just went back to the heat gun. I'll have to get a pic that actually shows the damage.

Funny thing, I actually fixed this one last year because another Jeep hit the rear.

Was the wife involved in that one also

Tell your boss to get you a new cushion for your work stool.

Nope, I think last time was their own jeep on the back fishtailed. Not sure though.

That's actually a really old cusion that was made for a boat, but the customer didn't want it. I think there used to be 2, around way longer than me. Snap On is really skimpy on the padding.

Working on taking the passenger headlights out of the camper and this...


How?!

 

[redneck joe]

You find it down there?

 

[MikeSchinlaub]

You find it down there?

No, that's my bit. Sorry, I meant how did they get that screw in when just the bit doesn't even fit.

I grabbed the other end with vice grips to spin it out, but even the screw is taller than the space. I had to take the bolts out and tilt the whole thing forward to pull the scree.

 

[flashback]

Bits come in different sizes ya know.

 

[redneck joe]

Ah, just had that issue this morning on my merc cowl.

 

[MikeSchinlaub]

I'm pretty sure they don't get shorter, otherwise they wouldn't be sticking out of a holder or screwdriver very much.

Anyway, the screw head was against the metal above it while the self tapping part was still in the glass. It doesn't matter how short the bit is if the screw is already too long.

 

[redneck joe]

Was it a keyhole slot?

 

[MikeSchinlaub]

Was it a keyhole slot?

Not sure what you mean.

 

[redneck joe]

Think old school keyhole in a door. Scrrw is mostly set, the slot has a large hole at bottom where screw head slips in then the tray slideds down and the screw slot becomes skinny

Ah, then no. It's like a flange head screw, where the screw head is big and serves as the washer too.

Post 146 Pic shows the screws can be gotten to easy enough, what am I missing?

So just use a standard screw drive with a long shank
