Guys, thoughts/opinions on Monkey Shoulder? I got a bottle of it from sis-in-law for Christmas.

http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130656&highlight=roadking+roof After hearing back from 3 shops, it's becoming painfully obvious that I'm likely doing the roof replacement on my '75 RV myself. Two of the main issues are age of the vehicle (Wilsons RV won't touch anything older than 20years) and project creep (possible interior panel replacement) making an already expensive job even worse. My family loves this vintage RV so I've got nothing to lose with all the info available on the internet. Does anyone have scaffolding to get up and around a roof that's 9-10'(at highest) off the ground? Sunbelt rental adds up with multiple weeks and multiple 6' scaffolding frames, boards etc... I don't mind buying used scaffolding and then flipping it after the job, but happy to rent for 4-6 weeks as well and pay someone directly. I can access the roof from a ladder but will likely be replacing plywood and other trim components that would make a scaffold platform a more secure and enjoyable place to work. Please advise what resources you have!

Well said above. Emphasis mine on two very important points I hear Trumpers glossing over because it's more convenient for their narrative to do so.

I have no experience with high-performance engine builds (just hanging parts on longblocks and wrenching back into vehicles), but having seen a couple Coyote-swapped Fox bodies at CC&C I have to agree with this assessment above for 2 reasons: 1) Pushing 350-400hp from a 5.0L/302 is going to cost a lot of money, and you're still saddled with an old-tech 302 in the end anyway. 2) Even a zero-mile sealed factory engine pushing 430+ hp for less than $10k is impressive regardless of the powerplant. You're talking about a good investment in $$$ for a guy/shop to fix your car. I'd future-proof it by doing a take-out Coyote/trans swap with aftermarket parts. :thumbup:

Wags, what's GAB?

Are you f**king kidding me??? I saw that first pic and was like "Oh shit, Tim's got his work cut out for him today..." Agreed...nothing short of amazing. Now, with that much oxidation/scratching, is it safe to say there's not much clearcoat left? If David doesn't flip it, will there be more hazing without some sort of permanent fix that he'll need to do down the road?

I’ve got a HF press and pullers, but lacking the time...

I just bought a 1975 CJ5, and while mine was a fraction of that price, I can tell you they are very uncomfortable to get in and out of, and the buckboard ride should only be tolerated for short distances. If you REALLY want an old CJ, there are good ones out there for sub $10k...that’s just too much old tech for $25k.

I can't think of a legitimate reason why he has to miss the inauguration, aside from what Cincinnati is showing off above.

You know who claims Trump lies? Her FORMER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/01/07/alyssa-farah-q-and-a-456369 ...also quite the hottie, if I may say so.

Thanks for the pics! Increasingly, it looks like I'm going to have to handle at least part of this project (looking at removing interior roof panels and repairing bad wood first, then figuring out the roof membrane).

Welcome back, TJ!

https://www.axios.com/trump-barr-capitol-mob-73da61e7-370b-4cc8-873f-fa19a885a2cd.html Trump incited protesters to riot. You can't sweep that fact under the rug.

...and yet, a lot of comments and opinions from you. :masturboy:

The question is something everyone should ask themselves. Every American. The fact you couldn't answer it simply, but had to pile on pre-conditions for your support shows that you are part of the problem for the next 4 years. I didn't vote for Obama, but when asked I would say he was my President and I hope he does well. There, it was that simple. Libs were saying #NotMyPresident thru Trump's term. If you think that bad behavior justifies your sentiment then I truly feel sorry for you and anyone else living in fear of our future as Americans. Change is coming, because change is needed to survive, evolve, and thrive.

Serious question: Will you now support Biden as your President?

I read Tax as well. Lamest CR thread ever, but I did participate in it. *shrug* Let me know if you ended up sending it by telegraph, or carrier pigeon.

Is there a K-member that you have to worry about clearance? May need a fender engine support bar to hold up the motor. https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-engine-support-bar-96524.html

Pence shut Trump’s shit down and you guys are doxxing some dude in a pelt. CR should be better. https://www.axios.com/pence-trump-capitol-senate-election-protest-5a5983ef-1ba5-450d-984f-940210d18eb9.html

Trump and his family are a political embarrassment.

I'm sure it's not cheap, and given that they sell a lot I'm sure half the battle will be trying to get me into a newer RV as well. $195 just for the estimate is reasonable, but if anything I want an itemized breakdown of what work needs to be done. Maybe I can do some of the interior work and let them do the roofing.

Got a response back from one RV shop...they declined the job saying they limit repairs to RV's newer than 20 years.

FYI, RCD RV appointment set last week, for January 29th. Ramey's RV Repair down south is February 12th...just for estimates!!! Ramey's receptionist was very nice, warned me a similar-sized RV roof replacement recently quoted was $5200. I guess it's like everything mechanical: you get out of it what you put into it, and selling something well-worn is just trading one set of problems for another... Correct...I cut away some of the interior paneling and it looks like 2x2" or 2x3"....I wouldn't stand on that roof.

Gerg, curious what your thoughts are on that heater. Please update at some point. I've been looking at Menard's for Dyna-Glo's 5,000W or 7,500W for my 2-car attached as well. I've got 220v for a welder/compressor already so not opposed to using electric over gas/propane. https://www.menards.com/main/heating-cooling/heaters/electric-garage-heaters/dyna-glo-240v-forced-air-electric-garage-heater/eg5000dgc/p-1562567355750-c-6328.htm?tid=-4777891146591550582&ipos=9

I'm not sure what the amalgam is for that club head, but there are a few deeper nicks that won't come out very easily without being very careful around the lettering. Are you going for a polished look? I'm wondering if a skilled powdercoater can get a level finish across that head, in the finish you desire.
