Sacramento 02'ers... paint garage

Insulation in, drywall going back up, starting to look like something is getting done...  BTW, you can't not notice the "mural" on the wall about the 49'ers and Broncos.  1990 Superbowl.  I'd say this place needed a facelift!

102deg outside and putting up drywall on the ceiling.  Yee haa!  I'm still recovering, but I managed to get all the panels up.  I'm still trimming and adjusting but I'll be throwing mud on it this week.  The hardest part is over...

Turning out pretty good. Yeah it's pretty warm today, be sure to drink lots of water. I need to stop by there one of these days to get the full display of the paint booth?

 

During the week after 5:30 or on the weekends.  Let me know...

Man, this garage work is going so slowly it's killing me but I'm finally about one hour's worth of work about from painting the walls!  I have to keep reminding myself that it's a 60 year old garage and it's just going to be a work space.

Creating some "patina".  The paint is pretty bad on the truck so I decided to try making a patina.  Learning as I'm going but I think it might turn out okay.  The paint is so thin I'm able to use acetone and a scratch pad to take the paint off.  Will rust the exposed metal and clear coat the entire truck.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
