The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[rally2003]

Here is what I have so far. It looks sick in the car, I have the Boost guage in it right now, but I need to extend the wires for the oil pressure. I have to sand it a bit more and some light puddy, but I'm very pleased with my first fiberglass job since 2005.
Here are some pics.

I have it sanded down a lot more than what is in the pics and it fits perfect. Hopefully tomorrow it will be close to being done, If not next weekend.

I don't know anything about fiberglassing. How hard is it?

I found it to be too tedious for me. Not to mention being messy as hell.

I don't think it is that hard, but I went to school for autobody restoration. It has just been a while since I've done it.

It can be very tedious especially working smaller scale. My hands were a mess and you have to worry about small shift and your movements. I think larger scale is easier. There is more surface area and easier to rework and sand with a orbital. This project is all with your hands and is more about detail. I'll try to post the pic of it in my car. It looks rough, but it is functional and I thinkit will look great when it is finished. I'll have to wait and see I guess.

I am sure it will look badass Corey. My one and only episode with fiberglass was an epic fail!

What's up folks?

 

[WillD]

It's Columbus Day that's what!

So basically my fiancee has the day off from her bank job and I get to work.

 

[THE Phen]

Aaah yes... one of those fake federal holidays where folks get a weekday off...

 

[Josue6WGN]

We only get major holidays off too.

On a good note, Marlon is dropping his 6 off for me to fix! He got rear ended a few weeks ago.

 

[rally2003]

^Dam< Spicey is down and his 6 is injured. Hopfully it wasn't too bad.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

Arent all holidays fake or made up?

I dont get any holidays off... i dont want em though, since they are double pay.

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah... for the most part.

 

[frenchy chan]

i miss working on holidays...i used to get time and a half...but now that i babysit, it's kinda hard to ask for $20+/hr...lol! I'm lucky to get paid minimum wage! (but that's a rant i don't want to get into )

Haha small world! My best friend actually works there as a programmer. It seems like a good place to work and they're getting big. One of the owners of ECS gets to drive the company car....which happens to be an Audi R8 hahaha!

Is that an Escape? I have one as a rental right now (in Salt Lake City for work). It's a huge hunk of crap...I really hope you didn't pay money for it.
