I bag parts too and label! On just about every project. Saved my hiney more than once….cool to see someone else do the same.

OMG, if Ziploc Freezer bags was not around I would never get things put back together correctly. I bag Everything. I buy the big 2 gallon bags for Water Pump sized parts and put the bolts inside a bag before placing in the bigger bag. I have a Evinrude 115 2 stroke 60 degree engine here that has been bored but is still in pieces for over 2 years. I will get to it someday but when I do the bags will save my bacon. People come thru the shop always asking the same question "can you put that back together?". Phone photos and Ziploc bags are my secret to success.
Today we got the Spark Plugs installed. .060 Gap, the electrodes were very long indeed. The Valve Covers look pretty sad so I decided to clean up to paint, No Epoxy Primer Catalyst.

Headed to the Evil PPG Refinish shop in the morning. I call it evil as I always spend more than I should. Very Cool Shop if you're a Painter, I get distracted by all the brite and shiny HVLP Spray Guns, new Sanders, Fillers, etc. Bolted the Carburetor down too, small milestone. Now plumbing the Brake Booster, Transmission, Dash supply vacuum can be done.

I can't find anyone who still makes the AC Suction Line with the Muffler anywhere. Looks like it will have to be custom made or run Hot Rod AC plumbing lines. They hurt to buy.
Awesome work!
Phone photos certainly help. I use them plenty
You are a machine. All these different projects at the same time would confuse me! :banghead
I can’t keep up either….
Slab, I really don't know how to sit still, it is a real problem at times, especially the month after having Covid. That stuff really saps you. I need the epoxy catalyst to paint over direct metal so I have to go to the paint store this morning. Also yesterday evening I discovered both my Ponkan & Page mandarins are so bent over with fruit set I have to add stakes and tie up the limbs but I'm out of the coated aluminum wire you use for that. Fortunately I drive right by a Home Depot going to the paint store. I will post up a few pictures in the Grafting thread after finishing staking the trees today.
