    I have quite an assortment of tools, but I'll be darned if I can find the right size Allen wrench or tape measure, and especially my box cutters! :madwife:

    I have an assortment of hoods, from 3m to others~ I do like the 3m hood combined with a nice fitting Tyvek suit, supplied air is from the thing below. It never worked very well as it was claimed to be a good paint sprayer, but works great as the supplied air source, but has to have a rheostat to turn it down.

    This was my original system below, the face mask didn't work for me as I wear glasses, so the hoods are great for glasses wearers. I'm on my second air hose and the little machine still works, but not as well as the thing above.

    Not much going on today, waiting for Gary's friend arriving at the airport in an hour or so~ I hate going to our airport!

    Trying to spray nasty spray paint or even when mixing, I wear this. However, it's a pain dragging the air hose around with the air hose to the paint sprayer~ you could hear me swear for sure!

    Funny you should say that, this morning I was thinking of the James Bond "Dr. No" bubble suits the evil villains wore.

    I appreciated the forward thinking type use of ' Pex ' water supply tubing on Captain Kirk's space suit.

    Good advertising for ''pex tubing" if it works in outer space it should work anywhere.

    Sorry it's been so long, anyway, still working on wiring, very slowly that is. The starter will engage with the ignition switch, headlights work(obviously), waiting on hose clamps for the gas tank~ then I can put gas in. Just a lot of little piddly stuff that just takes time.

    Hi, sorry I've been away, working like a snail, the electrical has been kind of eating me up a little. Still working under the dash wiring, vent hoses, etc. I have had the engine running and moved the Bronco under its own power:D, but I'm having a time with the brakes and I consider myself pretty good at brakes. oh, the AC works very well;)

    The guy that I bought wheels from and all the other stuff, he had an extra brand new tire/wheel. I just put it on for considering the black wheels look? Not much chrome on this Bronco~ what do you guys think?

    other:
    My brother recently bought a '00 Royal Enfield motorcycle; I didn't know they existed, but it wasn't running when he bought it~ it was just a carburetor problem; in fact, just installed the new carburetor today. I don't much care for the bike, I've kind of gotten away from motorcycles sadly:( That isn't a leak from his bike, the stain was already there when he took the picture.

    I have spent the last two days just cleaning the garage, throwing things away, clearing my workbench. Much nicer out there now.

    That's about it~ darn, I made a cup of coffee, now where the heck did it go!:madwife:

    I like the black better. Not a fan of the shiny wheels.

    But most importantly, the Bronco is looking great!
