The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

Since I had all my carpenter tools drug out for the basement project...figured I'd put the to some more use before packing them away. Spent the weekend trimming the windows in my workshop. Been putting it off for a couple years. Got all six done and also got the blinds hung. Had a little help from @Decal Dennis yesterday and the wife helped me out today. She was hanging the blinds as I was trimming.

Pulled my Edge out tonight to position the DA120 in front. Man this is gonna look good, now just to mount it up :)

So fire up your biggest plane and taxi up and down the street, or better yet, donuts in front of your driveway!!!!

I politely replied to his commentary that when he's ready to come talk to me like a sensible person then he knows where to find me.

It is a small one. I remember how excited I was the first time I ordered a new clutch and when it came in. That was when it was going in my mustang though and was a nice race clutch. This one I'm not as excited about. Just going in my 96 ford ranger. Throwout bearing is screaming so figured while I was there replacing it I would do everything. Clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, rear main seal, and even go as far as having the flywheel resurfaced.

I love working on cars but I do wish I still had my race car to work on instead of the daily driver.

No fun having to do that on a daily driver. I use to do a lot of that also but sold all my collector toys. Not much fun working on modern stuff. I have to replace a fuel pump on an F150 just waiting for motivation, weather and some weak minds. Decided to remove the bed rather than drop the tank.

I would recommend pulling the bed. I dropped the tank in my ranger when I first got it as the sending unit didn't work. The way the mount the tanks in the trucks makes it not to hard to get it out but trying to get it back in especially by yourself is a royal PIA.
