Hope you all are having a great week. Wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for being in the community here! What's everyone's plans for celebrating Thanksgiving? Me personally, I shut down the shop both Thursday and Friday, at least for my employees. Small get together with my wife, kids and in-laws. Then working on my basement at home all weekend with some football mixed in!

The arm components are all powder coated. Everything else was cleaned and painted. It seems to function well. Next project is to start tearing the car apart and figuring out which parts to powder coat. Definitely doing the outside of the brake drums and suspension components.

This was my first time doing something like this. The masking was very tedious.

Recently I have been experiencing slow air charging in my shop. I ended up deleting a shutoff valve and replacing the regulator. The valve seems like it’s fine but I’m leaving it off the system because I never used it anyway. When everything was turned back on it worked like a dream.

Bought a second hand homemade oven. Besides the door not closing all of the way, the floor not covering all the ground and most of the wiring needing bigger gauge wires it is actually working well. Restoring an old car lift and the arm pieces were small enough to fit in the oven.
