IHADAV8 Playground / covid and the 2020 census-

« on: January 12 2021, 10:44:58 AM »

There are federal penalties for misrepresentin g the census numbers. Less ability to play with the numbers. The references are at the bottom of the attachment.

"If we ignore the cause of death, the number of deaths in 2020 would appear to be about 12% above 2019-for the United States.  Ignoring the cause of death tends to address the claims of the doubters that the death rate is normal because people die of the flu every year or the numbers are inflated because someone fell off the ladder and was put down as a covid death initially before being corrected."

Paint and Body / detailing single stage black lacquer-

« on: July 17 2019, 08:52:05 PM »

After waiting 5 wks on an appointment with the supposed best detail man there is, he jerked me around. Wanted me to make another appointment. I do not give money to anybody who jerks me around. I am going to detail the gn myself. I hate detailing, always have. So, even though I was around a lot of it, I paid little attention and learned less.

This thread may be a bit hasty for a number of reasons. I am old. UPS brought my headliner today. I do a small workout 5 days a week. I get hauled to the races almost every weekend. I prefer to do most work on a slab in front of a building that is 15 ft to the rafters and only shaded in the pm.

What I need-Mckees 37 waterless wash to go (I believe the same as Detailer's or Dealer's? Pride)
sandwich baggies
painter s tape
Q tips
XMT Speed Clay and XMT speed clay Lube
loop weave or heavy pile micro-fiber towels
Meguiar's #7
Meguiar's #26 wax or equivalent.
I think my best bet is to find a supplier who has the most of these and try to combine shipping.

I consider a single stage lacquer to be the thinnest oem paint job. I believe the primer and paint combined to be less than half as thick as just the clear coat on modern stuff. There will be no abrasives. I own top of the line buffers and polishers, DA's, everything you could ask. I do not trust myself to use them on this no tint added black car. I intend, all by hand. Tape off one panel at a time.

If you have opinions, advice, a favorite supplier, experiences, etc., now is the time to get in here.

General Buick Tech / headliner....

« on: July 03 2019, 08:26:15 PM »

I am going to R&R the GN headliner. I pulled the map/dome light and visors this pm. After considerable research, I intend to buy the unit whole.

I am looking for advise, experiences, opinions, favorite suppliers, etc. If you replaced your headliner, how did you choose the color and how did it turn out? I believe I will need an extra set of hands to remove (?) and surely to install the headliner. The front trim will stay, I intend to remove the rest as needed.

I am not going to recover the visors. They look ok and the drivers side has an oem sticker on the top side.

IHADAV8 Playground / Memorial Day/D-Day

« on: May 25 2019, 03:14:00 PM »

A lot of years ago, my dad signed up for a Pacific cruise. He was part of the "Sight Seer' 6th and followed MacArthur to places like Borneo and Luzon.


Every uncle I had and 3 aunts served active duty. they all survived, but are now long gone.

Fast forward to the politically correct present. Obama had his apology tour around the world being sorry for America's transgressions . I have nieces/nephews being taught in school, that my generation is the problem.

However, in parts of Europe, children are or were taught that they owe their very countries to the allies. The US, UK and Ca.
 
This video is well explained. Please remember family members who served on May 27 and those who served in WW2 on June 6.

Computer/Tech Support / Anybody with knowledge of Solid or Inrupt-

« on: October 14 2018, 05:38:35 PM »

because I don't have.
I understand the stated goals. Seems a monumental undertaking. My imagination tells me, it would have to be something like using Tor to surf the www.

This thread will probably equate to a shot in the dark. If there were info, I should have found it.
