Crazy cat Lady, part 2

We has a Wash so we needs a Zoey....


 
 
She's a tortie, and she's Wash's sister. In our defense she was headed for the pound and we are stupid.
 
Overly friendly not quite as brave as Wash, but is very snuggly and very pretty. Her squeaker is broken though, try as she might it don't come out right.

Another raffle!

Same story though, Miss Squeak still has to get herself fixed. You can help and win some cool stuff while doing so. Erin has thrown up another raffle with more goodies for you to win!

I'll be donating a few things to help it along and all 3 of my readers are welcome to jump in!

Yep

 


2 utility knife blades welded edge to edge. Weld is .030 wide. Not nearly as hard as welding up aluminum soda cans. Challenge was issued, I was up for it.

Lets make a MGA from scratch, or not......

Current project is a 58 MGA that looks like it was left on a shotgun range since it was new.

It was also rear ended at some point and shoved into whatever was in front of it.

Every panel on this thing needs a patch and straightened.

The customer has supplied some new patches which don't fit and a few cutoffs from another car that are only half as rusty and fucked up as the ones already on the car.

Left inner fender,


 
 
Right inner fender,
 
 


Both of which needed this patch and another along the bottom edge,


Here's some the crash damage and the replacement panel that don't fit,,


I had to cut and shrink up a new lip for the front as the one on there is off by enough that it would never fit.

The black line is the cut line for the lip, 1" back from where the lip is supposed to be. The cat is just there to make sure the panel doesn't float away. The other feline is a backup in case the other one fails.

 
And the finished patch, a bit more tuning and it'll be fine,,
 
 


 
 
Lots more to go as this thing is rusty from one end to other. Woohooo!
 
Oh yeah, those pretty primered fenders were just as screwed up as the rest of it but I already waved the magic hammer over them and issued the proper profanity stream to make them whole again.
 
 
For you spades players,,, how would you bid this hand????

For those of you wondering, these songs in these versions are on my auditory masturbation device.

Big Scary Monster

So far he's doing great.

He comes running when he hears your voice, get underfoot properly and loves to snuggle.

His purr box almost needs a muffler but no reason to complain about that. He also figured out the potty.

He sorta tolerates Miss Barksalot, AlphaBrat Terrier. She cleaned his ears for us and left him no choice.

 
Hey, that bright blindy thing is not cool

 
Yer acting like you need bit.

 
Told ya you needed teeth marks on your knuckles...
 
 
 
Gotta feeling this may turn into the crazy cat lady forum for a bit, you'll just have to suffer thru.

Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing,,,,,,




7 week old male free garbage kitty. We've named him Hoban "Wash" Washburne .

He seems happy so far and we'll see how he gets on with the Phantom Kitty that you will never see if you come over and has restricted my petting time to less that 45 seconds a day.

We also custom ordered a red boy Maine Coon from our friends next breeding. It just wouldn't be right in here without a Coon.

I'm fine with being the crazy cat lady down the street.......
