Yes. Now that its getting into build season, I expect to see regular progress!

I registered this for Euro District on April 15th...not sure why I did it but I figured it is time for me to set a goal to achieve.

[Jdesign]

YAS. Goals!

Time to wipe a little dust off...

I pulled the front subframe to get powdercoated since it got pretty messed up at the body shop from the bay work and being jacked up without any padding.

Tonight I will put the rear up on stands as well so I can remove the undercoat and any surface rust from the rear subframe forward. I am still trying to think of a clever way to heat under the car so that I can recoat within a few days and have it actually dry (since it can't dry in 30-40 degree weather)

forced air propane torpedo heater aimed under the car. Works great for me.

[Earl]

Will this keep from getting too hot to actually burn other things? lol

[KaiserRolls]

Start it on fire earl.

Make sure they don't get powder in the balljoint area lol.

Could you use a space heater? Like a propane one?

[Earl]

I'm assuming I could. There is a heater in the garage but the doors fit like ass and it isn't insulated. A floor heater of some sort is my best bet I guess=) 

Rampelsauce is doing the coating so I am sure he is aware of that. Dave had his done and I haven't seen a picture of it thrown across his garage yet=P lol

I have yet to burn anything with the torpedo heater, unless you count the air hose laying on top of the heater and bursting.

My subframe has zero areas that couldn't be coated as it was the rear subframe and the mount are separate. Doesn't hurt to mention it to him. 

[Earl]

I forgot it was a rear you had done=P

I have had front control arms powder coated and they used some special greenish clear tape to mask the ID where the ball joint presses in.

Hang some plastic sheeting to seal it and crank a propane heater. No excuses.

That was what I was thinking=)

Ive done the plastic wrap for heating a garage before and it works really well. I used a convection propane heater that looks like this and it was way better than a torpedo:

Either way, I bet they are both hot and salty if you lick them.

Donde esta el CHODE

in Far Cry 4, the game devs programmed enemies and civilians to use 'chode' quite often, its pretty hilariously.
