The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVII

No and I don't want to either.

On most of my picks we have way more crane than the weight requires. But we need big boys to reach the heights im on. Like this one, needed 240' of stick so they had to swing one section of jib. That still had the hook within a few feet of the tip to hit the top of the hen house.

When I worked at Elliott TurboMachinery. We had a 100 ton overhead crane in the shop. We would routinely lift 130 to 140 tons with it. When we lifted anything at 100 tons or over. We would chase everyone out of the building. Then would only be 3 people in the building. The crane operator a foreman, and a spotter.

On-site. A lot of times. We had to remove the roofs of buildings to get at the equipment to work on it. When you have to remove the top half casing of a centrifugal compressor that weights 35 to 40 tons. And there is no crane inside the building. You do what you have to do.

Z is driving again

Forgot to put on the styrofoam bumper reinforcement, but that's ok because I didn't have the upper radiator shroud handy, which means I'll have to take the bumper off again anyway.

Need to find a new RH air guide. Dealer wants $70 for one

Second coat is much more even...and would have been better if I didnt walk in front of the fan on way to oven. :doh:

I think I might try to shoot a coat of Racing Red from Prismatic over the white. They say to use the silver base but it cant hurt to try it out.

madwi

It came out quite pink. would need another coat to make it look better. I grabbed another piece of metal laying around (coilover spanner) and just tried straight up racing red on polished steel. Its currently baking.

This is kinda addicting and fun. I can already see a bunch of crap around the house thats gonna get sprayed that has no business being sprayed.

JARblue

I'm going to be mailing you a box of parts to be coated along with a prepaid return label. I'll wait until you get a bit more experience though

That is a great idea! There is fingerprints on the parts and I dropped the tow hook once already after baking. Theres more screw ups too.

JARblue

I can probably send plenty of practice items too if you find yourself running out of things to coat

Did it chip? And have you been checking it for full cure with Qtips and acetone?

I pulled into a full parking lot at the office with the Z

Thankfully my uphill spot in the shade with the extra 5 foot aisle was available. They are installing 5G and tearing up the sidewalk out in front of the lot. I had quick conversation with the workers and the parking lot went from 7 cars to 3 cars

I really like this color up next to magma red. Calipers would look great wearing this.

I was on a job site in a room and the superintendent told us they had a sprinkler pipe bust in there just 2 days earlier. We didn't believe him because there was absolutely no evidence of water damage

Well, what had happened was a really quick thinking electrician did a really dumb thing and smashed a sprinkler head in the bathroom with his ladder. He then ripped the flex hose out of the ceiling and aimed it into the bathtub. It only took them a couple of hours to clean up the mess that wasn't in the bathtub lol
