What did you do to your Hellcat today?

My layin on the floor days are over...I set the car about 4'...I have a comfy chair on wheels..(I can slide around anywhere...high intensity headband light...put on the surround sound...I can stay out there for hours...

Don't forget to leave "open spots" for the lift when routing the tubing for the floor heat.

I had 2x2x2 foot "blocks" poured in the floor where the lift would go. Unfortunately the contractor's drawing was off by a foot, so sure enough, I drilled into the Pex on the third hole.

Thanks Jimmy, but no floor heat except in the master bathroom per the lady’s list. Certainly would never think of floor heat in a garage area. That is shit for inefficient compared to simple (read comparatively no brainer - INEXPENSIVE) forced air in that leaky airspace no matter how good you think you are.

Sure feel better today. Been doing just that. Got done with that bottom body detailing on a chair. I need to replace some wraps (the rear flairs) and that some of that battered gray bottom trim this year. About to get right after the All-in-One Ceramic. The car was not driven or washed enough last year to have anything that needs corrected that I can see yet. Maybe I’ll do the hood and around it when I take a good look at it.

Well once I got into the top red part it certainly did not require any correction. Got a coat of the All-in-One Ceramic on all but the top hood. It is smooth! That will just need to wait for the wheels/tires after I run way, way south for a while on two weeks. Going to do the sway/oil tomorrow and be out of the crawling under it part. So the wheels and top hood will be it. Probably do an interior spiff and it will be ready for action!

MSO for the 170 came today, I didn't realize they put the HP on it. I haven't looked under the hood yet, maybe I should.

And why does everyone call it a MSO?!?!?! I called it a Cert of Origin and everyone else called it a MSO!!!

Would've never thought of it if the little garage in the guesthouse hadn't had floor heat.

It's absolutely great to pick up a tool off the floor and it's warmer than it was in the toolbox. Another big plus is that it's quiet. We had forced air in the house in CA, woke me up every time it came on. Here only the barn doesn't have floor heat...it doesn't have any heat.
