meh, i dont think its happening today. with no sun shining on the building, its a struggle to get the panel to 70. i bet if i turn on the fan it will drop like a stone.

you guys that use these torpedo heaters, do you paint with it running? i am just slightly concerned with the flammability issue.....
Treeslayer
Mike
yeah, i have been, just concerned about maintaining temp with heaters off and fan on.
mine both will smoke with fuel.............i went and got 5 gal of k1 this morning, 8 and change a gallon, wow!
Treeslayer
Mike

there is a chance he drive it in epoxy until spring. nothing i can do about the sag now i guess?
Treeslayer
Mike
well thats that. last coat looks way better, i adjusted pressure and fluid down a little bit. i need practice.
our body work is not perfect either..........mr Jim makes me look like a one arm blind man lol.
i believe we are done with the body for now, we gonna start on the cab. i believe a sealer coat and top coat will happen this spring, unless we have a warm spell once the rest of the work is done.
