Yes, also lubing the floor in the bay of my parents office...
And the whole underside of the motor is coated with scuzz, so it starts smelling like hot oil in the car as it warms up....

Not many girls like smelling strongly of oil while out on a date.....


When I find the one that does though, you can bet your ass I'll marry her.

This girl I run around with some is close... But she comes from die hard Corvette fans...

I'm just not sure if I could be married into that....

I work in a big truck shop but all I do is state inspections and D.O.T inspections. There is no way in heII I would ever work on that crap. They are fun to drive though

outside of a full repair on the oil pan gasket, you could check to make sure all the bolts are tightened properly. it won't completely fix things, but it could slow the leaks.

hey guys.

Or you can grow a beard and forget razors all together.

The Les Paul is basically done. Sprayed the last coats of lacquer today. Now it hangs in the shop, curing for a few weeks. Then the final sanding, buffing and put the electronics in.

i would do exactly that. except that i do not have enough facial hair to pull it off. total bummer. i'd love to have a proper goatee or full beard.

anyway, for those of us that require shaving, the safety razor is an excellent option.

i think you can. parlay those skills into making slodave guitar builds. honestly, the guitar you are building is a work of art.

i am surprised that no one has hit you up to build them a guitar.
