Title: Stripper party!
Post by: scottb on January 15, 2019, 08:35:28 pm
No, not that kind  :P...... I have in my possession an 86 SE that has been totaled (tree fell on it). I would like to extend an invitation to everyone to come help me strip it. I am going to keep the cradle and some body panels, we can work out other stuff. Weekends are best for me, but this Saturday is already claimed with huney dues. Sunday is a possibilty. The car is inside the shop and I have a heater so the weather wont be a problem. What say yall?

Scott

(I promise Charlie will keep his clothes on..... maybe)

We've been talking about Saturday the 26th.  You said you have heat in the building, so I'll wear my dental floss and see-through blouse.

Since I still think of myself as young, I don't wear see-through clothes.  My grandpa wore those shirts.  I'm not sure, but it did not seem to attract the women-folk.

Oh.  What areas of the car are still good?

Post by: pgackerman on January 16, 2019, 08:30:17 am

I'm guessing an 86 SE doesn't have a wing.

Or does it?  If so, what color?


Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: Fierofool on January 16, 2019, 09:03:50 am
It does.  Car is silver. 
Title: Re: Stripper party!

How much for the wing, if an 86SE wing fits an '88 GT?

Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: scottb on January 16, 2019, 12:29:33 pm
It does fit, but I am keeping it,  sorry

Depending upon what comes up, I might be able to help. This weekend is kind of booked. Doing some wiring for somebody. (Long overdue.)
Do you have an air compressor? Air tools? Hand tools?
What would I need to bring?

Done this before. You know we're going to make a hell of a mess, of the shop... right?
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: scottb on January 16, 2019, 07:44:05 pm
I have 99.9% of the tools necessary, an air compressor with a new belt on it, a big ass torpedo heater with barrels of jet A, a bathroom (no hot water though), a torch, welders, several grinders and other instruments of destruction,  lights, some big ass hammers. ....... any thing else needed?

I can do the 26th. Is the coolant bottle claimed?
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: Fierofool on January 16, 2019, 10:11:23 pm
I had asked for it, but it was just to go in stock.  If you need it, you can have my bid on it.

Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: scottb on January 18, 2019, 06:19:49 pm
Saturday the 26th it is. I will try to have everything moved around by then. What time do yall want to start?

I would recommend that everyone bring their own gloves and a dust mask if needed, the car is a bit dirty.

I am not worried about a mess, I have plenty of oil dry.

Thanks, Scott

Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: Fierofool on January 26, 2019, 10:09:08 pm
I've been having problems with my back.  Got ready this morning, got my pain pills and made it about a mile from home and was hurting so badly that I had to come back home.  I've been in the recliner all day. 

Scott sent a couple of pictures before he went to bed.  We'll talk tomorrow afternoon and if he sends more pictures, I'll get them up on the board.
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 26, 2019, 10:12:10 pm
I was worried that your back was on a different program when I saw you online.  Get well soon
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: scottb on January 27, 2019, 12:18:06 pm
I need to thank Mike and Steve for coming up to my shop yesterday. We got most of the body removed and a few other parts, including the cruise control system. Charlie might need a bigger truck to haul everything that I dont need. Hopefully I can get the rest stripped down in a week or two. I did send Charlie a couple of pictures, and I think Mike took some.

Thanks, Scott
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: Raydar on January 27, 2019, 12:51:03 pm
Happy to do what I could. (As I told Mike, I just went after the "easy stuff". You and he did the real work. Especially that door.)
The sawzall trick worked well, on that one stud in the body clip. Wish I would have had one handy when I swapped mine.

Charlie, I hope your back feels better soon. People who have never had back pain don't realize how $!$#@% bad it hurts. Goes right through ya'.
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: Fierofool on January 27, 2019, 06:40:13 pm
Thanks Steve.  I've been confined to bed or recliner all weekend.  The kids brought dinner to me, tonight.  Going to give it another couple of days of inactivity and if not better then I'll see a doctor. 

As for all the parts, Scott, I'll just take them down and put them in the parts barn if that's OK with Pat.

That will be OK. A little warning for the future, though. Some day I'm gong to retire, sell this house, and move to my brother's 10 acres in Texas. The parts will have to find another home then.

Perhaps, by then, we'll be moved to the farm. I have plans...

As soon as my home in Alaska sells I am working on a permanent place here in the greater Atlanta area. I plan to put up at least one pole barn so I am pretty sure some space can be made.... 
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: Fierofool on January 28, 2019, 02:31:59 pm
If that's your plans, be sure to check with the Planning and Zoning Department of your locale before purchasing to see if it's allowed on that property.  I have and do serve on various zoning boards, and we often have requests for things that the real estate agent or seller told the buyer they could do, then after the sale, found that they were prohibited.  Two residents of my subdivision were told by the same agent that they could have a goat at one home and the other could have a cow in their back yards. 
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: NoMad on January 28, 2019, 04:49:48 pm
Wow, I guess I have been on Alaska too long. Putting up a pole barn as a shop on your property was a given as okay. Not even a permit needed....
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: Fierofool on January 28, 2019, 05:30:04 pm
EPD laws require any property that's on a septic system to obtain a Septic Approval Permit to locate anything covering more than 32 square feet of the ground.  That could include a patio, porch, or even a child's fortress playset.

The location has to be approved to assure it's not over any part of the septic system and that it's not in the designated repair field.  Usually that permit is about $10.  Then you must get building permits from the government authority (city or unincorporated county) that you live in.  To build without permits usually entails a citation and court, doubling permit fees, and or removal of the structure or modifications to a structure.

I watch Last of The Wild Frontier, The Kilchners, and Alaska State Troopers and see what kind of garbage accumulates around some of the properties in Alaska.  These regulations are designed to prevent that, though some of the counties east and northeast of me don't seem to care.  I've seen someone living in a slide in camper sitting on concrete blocks in the county where Kay lives.  Looked like the woods around them was their garbage dump.

Planning to at some point. My wife trains stock/herding dogs. She needs livestock (probably sheep) to use. Livestock needs a barn.
She'll have the barn. I'll have a shop. (She'll have room in the shop for her jewelry business, too, since it will not involve livestock, and won't require that much room.)
At least that's the plan.
It's a lot more involved, and "iffy" than we make it sound, but at least there is a plan. 
Title: Re: Stripper party!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on January 28, 2019, 07:08:15 pm
Well, good for you both.

I used to have a dog I trained.  He used to win every show he entered.  At 35 pounds, I'm now being told my dog was too small to herd cattle, jump over 6-foot fences, and jump off the barn roof, but that dog went where I went.   He kept me safe from whatever animals--including the 2,000-pound bull.  I only trained that one dog, though.  Obedience training, mostly.  He would heel on either side, on command, without a leash.  In the shows, you're supposed to have the dog heel on the left side, and you aren't supposed to walk around the dog in turns.  Forget that.  No issue with heeling the dog on the left, but I walk where I want, and the dog should move out of the way.  Since the dog never made contact with my person, and I did not deviate from my path to accommodate the dog, the judges were unable to deduct points.  The only point that was deducted was at the first show, because the dog slouched when sitting.  Just once, but it cost 1 point.  The last show we entered was mostly police and fire department dogs, back in 1996 or so.

How far were you from the nearest city?  Eventually, the cities make you get a permit to hang a picture.

A little story about the Parts Barn... GrannyLinda's son needed a place to temporarily store some stuff, and he didn't want to use a storage place. So he came over with lumber and tools, and started building. The neighbors complained of the hammering, so I figured I'd better get a permit. I went through the process, including a site survey. Or house is in unincorporated Gwinnett county, so I went to the proper county office with the survey. Now, there happens to be a ravine behind our house, and I was told that it is a flood control ravine, and building within a certain distance from it is not allowed. The survey showed the barn extending two feet into the exclusion zone, so I told them we'd move it, and they gave me the permit. Never mind that it was already partly built, and we couldn't move it. Also, there were already two smaller sheds on the property both entirely in the exclusion zone. They didn't seem to care about those.
Anyhow, I posted the permit on our front door in case any neighbors complaining about the hammering came over, and the barn was built.
