Thanks a lot guys .... I do appreciate the comments
There is always something to do on the car and I find these and get at her with the time I have that day.
Nice job on a crappy place to work in! You did an awesome job in there. My back is hurting just thinking about being in there.
Thanks ... if my trunk comes out half as nice as yours I'll be doing the happy dance.
Any new updates on the car? I check every now and then ... just wondering.
I know I have not posted in awhile ... it's field season and as a Fisheries Biologist that means you are in the field.
I have been working on a project that will help biologists determine species composition of their waters ... it's a tethered ROV (remote operated vehicle with video, lights and thrusters) that can be deployed from the boat and in conjunction with the sonar surveys provide live video (FISH PORN) back to the surface. We tested the ROV couple days ago and it works ,I made the cage outa 3/16 Al but .... I need to make some larger fins to stabilize the cage but she works and that's kool
Anyway, today was 102 and I spent most of the day getting ready for epoxy primer on the NOS fenders when it cooled off ..... mark time 2045 and tha's cuz I was running outa light. I didn't have enough primer to do the inside but I got the bare steel in primer and that's a good day.
NOS fenders in primer! Yeah it's dark now! It's not the Camaro but I built it for work! The ROV inside the cage ... "Scooter"
I am gonna present my FISH PORN for the first time next week in Utah during a sonar workshop ... should go over well
looks like fun to play remote control. what kind of fish are you looking at,
Thanks .... I don't think a GI Joe would fit inside! BUT ... it is fun to control (read - addicting) the ROV or just let it sit and have the fish swim by the ROV.
Fish species varies with body of water, we are gonna use the ROV to keep track of KOKanee in our large res that we take spawn. But the ROV can be used for various missions.
