    Cold out and I'm bored

    It's too cold for me to go to work (I work for an excavating company and it's like 4 degrees out) and it's too cold to go out to the garage and work on the GTO (no heat, yet).

    All is not lost, however. I have time to play on my computer!

    Re: Cold out and I'm bored

    I work outside and this morning it was -7 and windchill warnings to 25-30 below. We store pickles and peppers for a manufacturer in a salt solution so they will not freeze in solid. I just want the cold to be over.I am tired of being wet and cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have heat in my garage but am usually too tired when I get home to go out there. Only problem is those little gremlins do not usually show up to work on my projects to complete them. those who say it took me 4-5-6 years to complete my vehicle is pretty simple. They have stored it that long not nessarily worked on it that long!! If you want to drive them you have to work on them, so it is off to the garage I go. I want to have my 46 GMC on the tour.

            Either way I agree with cheaps. I like the flames.
            Hauling ass & sucking gas are the best uses for a truck.

              Nice flames i think that style flame is called california flames. I like the first one red going to yellow. The front part of the flames remind me of a bike gas tank. Very nice.

                Oh no !!

                I can't decide whether I like White - Yellow - Orange - Red or the other way around ??
                ???

                The green pinstripping is retro cool though !

                      Hey, I'm honored!

                      Take a screenshot, I'd like to see it!

                      Thanks to all who've commented. I appreciate it!

                      I'll probably post samples of freak and junkie related artwork as well.

                      Anyone else have computer doodles they'd like to show us? Might as well post 'em up!

                          It's 31 outside now, about 40 or so in the garage. I was gonna get started on my disc brake upgrade project, started the car, it sounded sorta funky, did a compression test, have two really low cylinders.

                          Looks like leakdown time.

                            Ken, if your bored...you can come up and chop the ice and snow out of my driveway!! lol

                            drive that goat up here and put it on the hoist in the heated shop.. we will do that brake deal real good.

                              Regarding the chopping of ice, naw, I'll pass. It should be warm enough the next few days to melt that stuff, prior to the rain, snow and ice storm that's coming tomorrow p.m.

                              I may, however, take you up on the lift offer for my disc brake job. I gotta get the motor running better tho. We'll see what the leak down test shows.
