What Did Ya Get Done This Weekend?

[Dirtyrat]

Camper repair, gotta finish this up for next week...

Looks like a lot more fun than it really was. Had a lot of help from my father as we were under a time constraint to get the new vent in and sealed up before the evening dew...

I've learned a bit about how these pop-ups are put together, and I know that I do not want to work on a leaking roof again this extensively... I do believe that once the roof has sagged, its real tough to get that roof bowed properly afterwards...

If I ever do it again, I will have to cut the top of the bow on a nice curve, and leave the bottom flat in order to get it to re-bow the roof...

Found some cleaner that is for boat seats at General RV that took almost all the water stains/mildew stains off the white fabric on the inside of the vinyl too

Anyhow, pics of the carnage...

Bumper Bash over the 4th

I replaced the bashed up bumper cover on my daily driver.

I picked up a replacement months ago, finally got the paint, got it painted, got it clear coated, 1st time I've ever used hardner in pain and WOW what a difference! I think it turned out pretty good, I'm feeling better about touching up the other oops from the previous owner now that I can actually make paint match! [cl

Rebuilt my deck and got it stained, next, new gazebo and hot tub. Then an addition to the shop, and maybe then I get to work on some project cars. We'll see if life will leave me alone long enough.

Doing the brakes on my '93 Cadillac hearse.
Replaced all the lines, this flaring tool makes the job so much faster.



Previous owner said the right front brake dragged a bit the last time it was moved.

On top of the car projects I have been working on my house. Gutted this room because there was never any insulation in the 3 exterior walls. New sheetrock/insulation/wiring/trim and hardwood floors.

Been there... done that... except I laid my rear end all over the street! Heard this horrible noise in the rear of the car & looked in my rear view & saw gears & grease all over the road!!! Then a car came & started sliding in the grease & nearly hit me! Oh yeah... I felt SO kooool!!!

I prefer electric fans because of the HOT weather here in Tejas & the fan on my Nova was not operating properly & finally gave up the ghost! I started using Derale controller kits a while back & have been using them every since... $37 @ Summit. I like them because they are SO easy to install, look good installed & work like a charm. Removed the old fan & got the new one on (Spal 16" puller) & will finish the install after I get some other farm chores done! I'll post a foto of the final wiring install when I git 'er done!

Besides wranglin' snakes I've started getting my shop ready for my next build. Got the area around my welding table cleared out & did a lil welding to see if I still had the touch... I do... well probably! It's been just a lil cooler here Tejas & with fall coming soon I'm looking forward to spending more time in the shop cuttin', beatin', grindin', weldin' etc! And throw in a lil toppin' choppin'!!!

Since I've been driving the Nova more lately I've started to notice lil things I need to adjust/fix. The mufflers were rattling so I decided to crawl on under there & git with it! When I jacked it up I noticed a gas leak in the filler neck. The clamp was too big on the rubber section & I just happened to have the right size in my tool box (what a surprise)! Got that fixed first & the passenger side hanger had broken so I got it welded back up & no more rattles (rattles drive me insane)! Gonna hit the shower & go fer a cruise now... yipppeee!!!
