Some experience I'll share -- when painting a larger area like that.... Get some Home Depot or Lowe's 5 gallon buckets -- and get a 5 Gallon bucket screen sold in the paint department -- it hangs in the bucket.... and you run your roller against it. #1 -- carrying and moving around a 5 is so much easier -- and you can dip and roll so much faster because the bucket is more stable and the screen is "near vertical" so the bucket (or in your case the pan) isn't being pushed around.... #2 -- the bucket holds more paint so you're not constantly filling it. #3 -- if it's a multi day paint job -- you just leave the paint in the bucket and cover it with a DAMP towel.... Put your roller in a zip lock bag - seal it and stick it in the freezer --- just take in out of the freezer a few minutes before you'll start again. Don't handle the roller just unzip the bag grab the roller using the bag as a glove and slide it on the cage..... #4 -- Don't clean your cut brush either - fold it nicely in tin foil - to hold the nice brush shape - and slip it in another Zip lock bag - stuff this in the freezer too.... take it out when you want to use it again.

Figure you may be painting other rooms in the house -- so thought I'd toss in a couple pro's tricks. LOL

I used to move my boat around with my ATV, but I left the tongue weight on the tongue jack with a wheel on it. Worked okay on a hard surface but not off road at all.

That mill will be fun to use, You can do all kinds of stuff with it.

Unfortunately I think your rig is longer than my entire lot..... I guess you just have to settle for SW's place....

Speaking of, are you headed to Goodguys and USCA this year? I hope to have the car there and need a warm place to lounge with some decent coffee..

I'll be there for the Austin Lonestar Roundup hot rod show.... with 22 other Brizio idiots that are willing to drive their cars from San Francisco to Austin. That's April 17th and 18th.

Have you been here for the Roundup before? It's a pretty good show, glad you're going to make it. There's a lot of variety at it. It started as primarily a 'rat rod' show but has grown to include all levels of cars. Admittedly yours will be a step above most, but I think you'll like it!
