    Mini split sizing challenge

    I just tried an online calculator and it showed 10,900 BTU. I'm sure its close but probably not perfect. 12K is closest to that from the style I'm looking at. dcg9381, its only really bad in the Summer and like I posted we do put up a shade sail every year, cools the whole house down but...

    Mini split sizing challenge

    Any experts care to give an opinion on sizing my garage (eh hem! home atrium) space. its only a 15X15 room 225 sq. ft. but... it has a glass ceiling/roof and one wall over 17' (a few inches over) and another about 15' tall. It get blistering hot in the summer so we cover it with a shade sail as...

    Nonhog Garage

    Thanks guys! Low energy day, swept the shop for a few then called it. Now I'm trying to decide V8 or V6 for the van. Seems I have no choice but to fix it or donate it. If I go V8 it ups the complexity but increases the chance I will want to keep it. Did very little camping with it as planned...

    Nonhog Garage

    Welp when it rains it pours! Totaled Volvo heading to Sweden because it was just too big a project for me. Mrs. is not happy but understands. They didn't want the V8 stuff so I pulled it out. Not sure if I will sell or keep it. Not interested in another V8 Volvo swap. Not like I need something...

    Nonhog Garage

    Since June I sold the white Volvo, bought half a travel trailer (with my daughter and son in law) had the engine go out in the van, sent my wife's pride and joy (the black Volvo) to a repair shop where it caught fire. Waiting on insurance to check it out. They already said it will probably...

    Nonhog Garage

    Not much going on the last year. Still cleaning shop and selling stuff. Bought a wrinkled Volvo and with a bunch of help from Larry (FordCrager) got it back on the road. Being a stick shift it's fun to drive but aggravates my ankle and knee so it's time to go. Oh and I got a new shop dog. Last...

    Body work questions

    Thanks all for the input/questions. I honestly don't know how the painter mixed it. The supplier already told me they would swap the proper paint (or clear) I think they owe more but have my doubts. I think its way past the window to clear? The whole car should be painted. I thought I could live...

    Body work questions

    Oh and another thing. He did suggest that we paint a sample first. I should have listened. I was thinking it's an old car I know it's not going to match. Never thought of the wrong type.

    Body work questions

    He caught it right away. And asked me if I ordered bccc or SS. I told him single stage, cause that's what I told them. I supplied the paint. He told me it looks like base coat, but I didn't know for sure until I showed the can to the supplier.

    Body work questions

    Wrong paint, now what? I mentioned how satin it is. Well..... The paint store sold me BC/CC (w/o the clear) They admitted to the mistake and told me that I could get single stage but I paid a pro to spray it. I have yet to discuss that with the paint store. I think they owe me $225 for the...

    Body work questions

    Forgot about this thread. Here is more pics. I just watched most of the pull and rough out. I finished the Bondo work and primered it. Thanks to Ford Cragar on here for the magic of old school body work! I hired the last block sand and painting. It turned out much more satin than expected. But...

    Show off your old signs

    Anyone up on prices? I have a large embossed Quaker state sign that I might sell. I am seeing $350 asking price for one not as good as mine. Is that close?
