$20 ............... cracks me up. I used many gallons in Montana restoring balers, bale wagons, hay rakes and my much missed/loved International tractors.

Bench will be Kubota Orange
Fixturing Ford Blue.

While I'm working on Mark's car Super In Law has been busy.
Starting the restoration of the pinch weld frame for the frame bench.

Today he built an extension for the welding cart that has the plasma cutter on it.
That way its tall enough to be used on the parts car that's on stilts.
Which gave us room to put the torch on the same cart.

Interview went great. Only issue was, it was for the second job that I applied for. Applied on Saturday, called for interview on Monday, interviewed on Thursday. Whoa ...
Pretty certain I could have that job if I wanted. Didn't pay enough
The other jobs interview was brought up by them 3 times at the end of the interview.

Two positives that came out of it. 1. The person that will be my new boss walked by 3 times in the 12 minutes I was sitting in the lobby. I'm sure the place was a buss after I left. 2. Had a good hour interview that included the HR director. She now as a handle on who I am and what I'm all about.

I think I'm caught up in a due diligence exercise. For one, the Director that thru my hat in the ring is a long time friend. The person that will be new boss has become a friend. I'm also thinking the delay might be a budget balancing issue.

While I'm working on Mark's car, Super In Law stripped the front and rear suspension off the parts car. Now we'll decide what we'll cut it and keep and what will get shredded and melted.

Weather broke so we took a break from Mark's car and got after prepping and painting my frame bench.

Super In Law has been refurbishing the pinch weld frame and its now ready for some paint. We start with another once over with the wire cup brush.

Tape off all the decals ........

Finished product ...............

While I had the Ford blue in the gun I painted the templates that will be saved. I paint them to save myself from myself. I'd forget why I cut them out and they'd end up in the scrap barrel.

Then on to the bench itself .......... We start with wire brushing the cross members.

Then I shoot some of the bright Kubota orange. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Then we convert the open trailer into a paint station. Super In Law got busy with the wire cup brush. Then I jumped in with the DA with 40 grit. The DA made short work of it.
Attached Image

Turned out great. Gave me some good painting practice. Distance from the surface and speed of my fan movement.

Took the day off, but we went and got a refill for our #2 Argon/Co tank. While at Newberg Steel Super In Law bought me an early and expensive birthday present.

This should make the precision cuts we'll need when we create the fixtures for the frame bench.

My 18" welding clamps that I bought for future trunk installs arrived from ZORO.

Then we rolled the frame bench off the trailer.

Tomorrow morning will start with some shop clean up and reorganization before I start on Mark's wheelhouse rust ..............

Between the shop clean up and the landlords 4 wheeler coming to a dead stop I didn't get to get back to Mark's car.

Here's a few shots after I got everything tidied up. The rotisserie will slide 1/2 way over the frame bench when it's up against the wall when not in use.

We decided that we'd paint up three of the channel irons that came with the bench. We'll use two of them to hold up the pinch weld frame.

For those that have been reading along it looks like the job that I'd thought I'd be taking has been cancelled. Best I can tell Albertsons buying Haggen was the final straw. Worst part is, two of the folks that work there are my friends. They're really embarrassed.

So time to move on. The plan was to restore 2-3 cars a year after I retire. Now maybe we'll reverse that. Find a job that will work around restoring cars.

Next week will be spent building 3 or 4 fixture pieces for the frame bench.
I moved Mark's car to the frame bench this afternoon. My pinch weld fixture won't work for most of the work I'll be doing. i.e. Right long and hell hole.The fixture is in the way. So we'll be building the transmission mount and right suspension mount fixtures. Perhaps the pinch weld stands also.

On the employment front. Next week will be busy. Two automotive related interviews. Both of these deal with Porsche and restoration. The other is a job shadowing day. Then the company mentioned above will have another opening in the near future. One of the salesman died in motorcycle accident last weekend. Kind of sad. I've known him for 25 years.

Hi,

Would you happen to have any info on your pinch fixture ( manufacture, model # )?
I need to purchase or make one for my car.

Thanks,
