worked on the vette

[joehalford01]

I know, i know, finish the truck . I've been meaning to work on the battery box and cutoff solinoid install for a while but i didn't want to cut holes in my car with all the bad weather. Great weather this weekend though, so I did it. Cut out the humps for the original battery hardware and started glassing it back up. the fumes from the fiberglass gave me a headache . something tells me i'll be doing some serious sanding tomorrow as well , my technique is not the best.

Ive got a vette too, 74 convert, almost finished with it, though I might sell and but a sedan project for a family rod, but Ive had it for a long time and have gotten kind of attatched, when I did the glass work I think I hated the itchiness of the glass worse than the smell

Get yourself some pantyhose. If you rub it over the areas where you have glass slivvers it will pull them out. I had heard about this trick for years, and when I was doing my T I tried it............darned if it doesn't work.

The little lady might not be real happy about you raiding her underwear drawer and suspect you might be a little strange, but at least you won't be itching. I'm single now, so if you think I didn't feel a little goofy buying a pair at the grocery store....................

Hmmm! I used rubber gloves so I never ran into that problem. Also the smell didn't bother me, but I was young at the time (25 yr). Since it was my first time, I took it real slow and careful.

no itchiness, just the fumes bugged me
