I painted a few cars when I was about 20 YO, out front of the garage.
Should have just used rattle cans.
Anyone that wants to do a short Seminar/demo on anything.
Let us know.

We'll have that white board again and set a time of your choosing, to do your demo.
You really do a good job of showing folks how to do things.
It always draws a big crowd.

Not sure if ya'll have noticed but there is usually quite a bit of talk about putting bushings in the torque tubes and I "thought" that would be a good seminar if someone had an old torque tube and the tool to do it with it. That sucker has always puzzled me but luckily I have never needed to do one. (shhh, I may need to do one on my 50 coupe)shhh
Just a thought guys. Something to think about while cooling it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 |
Hey Alvin, I put bushings in my torque tube at a homecoming a year or two ago.

Thanks for the demos, and showing the new tools that are available....12 months seems too long to wait for the next round of learning...
