DO IT THE RURAL ROUTE WAY
GRAB YOU A CASE OR MORE OF ONE OF THESE (YOU CAN ALWAYS TAKE THE EXTRA CANS BACK--IT'S A PAIN TO HAVE TO GO BACK FOR MORE)
STRADDLE A DITCH (THE OLE TIME COUNTRY BOY METHOD TO CHANGE YOUR OIL)---SPRAY AWAY!
BUT EVEN MORE/ BETTER HIGH TECH---FIND ONE OF THEM WAY OUT MA AND POP, USED TO BE FULL SERVICE STATIONS, THAT HAS A LIFT OF SOME SORT. ASK 'EM IF YOU CAN USE OR RENT IT FOR A FEW HOURS DURING THEIR SLOW/ DOWN TIME. DIPLOMACY AND EVEN A COOL SOFT DRINK MAY GET YOU IN THE AIR FOR FREE.
SOME PAINTERS TAPE--RAGS AND SOME SOLVENT (GAS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE) MIGHT TAKE OFF ANY OVER SPRAY THAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE WRONG PLACE
I PROMOTE DIY WHENEVER IT IS FEASIBLE.I STARTED OUT WITH MY 1ST OF SEVEN JEEPS AND A CHILTON'S REPAIR MANUAL. IF THIS UNDERCOAT JOB IS NOT DONE TO YOUR SATISFACTION. YOU WILL KNOW WHO TO BLAME (NOT ME! LOL)
I HAVE A GOOD MECHANICAL BACKGROUND-AIRBORNE RANGER FOR 4 YEARS --AND NOW HAVE BEEN A PLUMBER FOR 21 YEARS.I FIX 99% OF MY OWN MACHINES (SHORT OF AN AUTOMATIC TRANNY OR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS)
EVEN BEING SORTA OLD FASHIONED, HERE'S A FEW OTHER HINTS FOR YOU
TYPE IN "HOW TO ______" ON YOU TUBE, AND YOU CAN MAKE OR FIX SO MANY THINGS
ANOTHER.
ON A NEW TAB TYPE IN "PROMO CODES FOR ______", PICK THRU 'EM, FIND THE BEST DEAL
. THEN GO TO THE ONLINE STORE (SUCH AS ADVANCE AUTO) PUT IN YOUR CARS INFORMATION, FIND THE STUFF YOU WANT ONLINE (LIKE A CAR BATTERY OR ANYTHING) STICK IN THE PROMO CODE JUST BEFORE YOU CHECKOUT. PAY ON-LINE. PRINT YOUR RECEIPT
THEN YOU GO PICK YOUR STUFF AT THE STORE YOU WOULDA WENT TO AT FULL PRICE. YOU CAN SAVE MEGA BUCKS DOING IT THIS WAY.
PIC BELOW IS MY '46 WILLYS, I RESURRECTED (HIS NAME IS "WILLY")---I GAVE $100 FOR HIM TO START, THE ONLY THINGS USABLE TO REBUILD WERE THE WINDSHIELD FRAME, ENGINE LAYING IN THE BACK, AND THE DRIVE TRAIN---BODY WAS THROWN AWAY DUE TO YEARS OF H. ELL DAMAGE AND RUST, HAD TO WIRE IT 100%. THIS WAS MY 1ST FULL RESTORATION.I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF, AT 27 YEARS OLD (1990) MINUS ENGINE MACHINING AND THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT
WHAT I'M SAYING IS. DON'T PAY SOMEBODY ELSE AND SELL YOURSELF SHORT!
SURELY THE UNDERCOAT JOB YOU HAVE. SHOULD BE DONE BY YOU, AND OTHER STUFF TOO. WILL GIVE YOU A WARM FUZZY INSIDE!
I'LL ATTEMPT TO HELP YOU ANY WAY I CAN--JUST ASK
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON ALL OF THIS?
SORRY IF MY GRAMMAR WAS LACKING
