JUNE TECH DAY: Operation Hood Painting!

**JLP1977** · May 18th, 2011, 09:01 PM

Hi, guys! It was great to see all of you at the meeting tonight!

...And I was so excited to hear that the next Tech Day might be in my honor! The goal being to paint my long-rusted, peeling hood. I have attached 2 images to show it's current state (it used to just be a subtle bubble in the paint, sigh...).

The other problem area that needs some cosmetic tlc is the back end, under the gas cap (also attached a pic), but this is not necessary unless there's time. I feel like once i see how it's done on the hood, i can spend some time tending to the back.

It seems like Saturdays are the best for Tech Days, so what about June 18th? From what I gathered at the meeting, this Tech Day would be at Pat's house, located around Ballard in Seattle.

Thanks again, you guys! I'll bring plenty of water-logged calendars as gifts!

Since I'm just around the corner I'll be there. But after we're finished, no more carburetor fires!! And we'll move your gas filler inside the trunk so no more gas spills down the back.

Hey, I think Mike Lavallee would find inspiration in that hood.

Maybe we could learn to do that kind of painting by June. I'll practice on mine.

I'd love to watch paint/body masters at work. Can bring sandpaper and microbrews.

Kenny! The gas filler is already in the trunk! I think we did that last year? That's just left-over paint peeling from when it was still on the outside...

It's good to know I'm not the only one who forgets when they've already done something.

I remember once a friend proceeded to reminisce about the time we yanked his engine out of his Impala and detailed it, put in new freeze plugs, etc.... and I looked at him like he had worms coming out of his ears. And I was much younger then. Makes me

Oh yea! I do kinda remember that. And I think I had some sort of cereal for breakfast this morning.

Hi, you guys! Just wanted to confirm the tech day coming up, see what time works for everyone, and get some directions to Pat's house (if that's still the location!).

Also! I have a bunch of materials from when i tried painting last time, but what are the basics I'll need to bring with me on the 18th?

Thanks you guys!

Hope I can make this one. Not sure what I can do to help but if there is anything that I should bring let me know. Also has anyone heard when the greenwood car show is this year. Yes, I am actually thinking I can get my car to a show this year. Larry
