Re: Covid Proof
Ok, so I do not wish for you to think I am trying to one up ya or anything. I bought some of this:

I have a paper mask looped around my floor shifter to keep it from blowing away.

Re: Covid Proof
I scraped the undercoating off the firewall so I can paint it tomorrow. I also pulled the brakes so I could get an idea of what I need for them.

I did a complete brake job to assure I stop no closer than 6' to the car ahead.

Re: Covid Proof
Took it off the ventilator in the shop and got it back on the road for some fresh air, sunlight and as much 86 octane as it can drink.

Out of context I plugged up the B/A hole in the cab of my C20 with shop rags. I think I'd rather COVID than a black widow make a home of it.

Re: Covid Proof
I took 2 weeks vacation and only left the shop/house 3 times for parts runs. Can't say that it did much to make the the truck work better during these times, but ALOT of progress was made on the truck which will make it work sooner than later.

Re: Covid Proof
There at first I left my mask hid in my truck for fear of it being swiped! I had a $50 vapor mask still in the package on the passenger floor for a job I had with mold in the cellar. It took a while to hit me, better put that puppy out of sight, someone would break a window for that!
