    Ambition outweighing Talent - My One and a Half car Workout Workshop

    I felt super energized after this victory over Texas Summer and progress went quick after that. Once the AC went in, we went on an all ahead push to get the cabinets ready. We decided to swap to a Matte Black, higher quality paint that we could mostly roll on. The compressor cabinet was the...

    Pics showing up in browser, but not app

    Hey guys, I have been using imgur to host my pics, and I understand that you have to remove the S from HTTPS and use the direct link. The problem I am encountering is that my pictures show up fine on my browser in my computer, and on my browser on my phone, but if I'm using tapatalk, they...

    So we went back to the drawing board with the paint, and after some more research, we came across a product called Sanding Sealer. It was exactly what we needed, though application is a bit of a PITA. You apply, wait an hour, then sand most of it off, apply again, wait another hour, then sand...

    Apparently he knows him personally. Pete says he was never into MX as much as BMX but he met him passingly once or twice Also, he was the previous generation, Pete was more in the scene in the late 80s and 90's. Is Warren someone you know?

    That works too, I just found it harder to have consistency with that method. We ended up finding a product called Sander Seal that is perfect, just a tiny but time consuming. What you do is apply it, wait an hour, sand, reapply, wait an hour, lightly sand flat. It comes out pretty nice, just...

    So from this point on, we can call this a symphony of failures. I have never encountered a more difficult surface to properly paint than MDF. Learn from my failures guys First we tried to shoot the primer with my paint setup. That was a spectacular failure. So much pilling that it was a...

    Reader beware, this post is being written after many, many Modelo Especials. Alright, sorry for the delay in posting, it’s not been for lack of progress though. This is where my friend Pete comes in. Pete is an awesome dude. He’s a former Pro BMX rider, rock band manager, fabricator, and...

    I love everything about this build, just read it through, start to finish. You're doing amazing mate, keep it up. Love the Z, I would love to own one at some point. Almost bought a beater to race at Lemons, but it was not to be.

    Do it! It's very useful and people's reaction to a "hidden bar" is always cool. Not that I've had many people over during the quarantine, but the few have loved it. Ducati - Making mechanics out of riders since 1926!

    This was the first time I could feel tangible progress being done. We didn’t get a whole lot done, but we were able to get the weightlifting stuff up on the walls and mounted. I was relieved to get the rack back inside and out of the elements. I got this weight tree from amazon, and while...

    Alright, Back to your regularly scheduled garage updates. Lots and lots of high build primer and paint went on. I was hoping the primer would do a little more to fill in some of the worst spots, but it was basically next to useless. Well, it wasn’t too too bad, only a couple of spots are pretty...
