Default Gotta hurry !

Had this pan sandblasted...turned out nice. No matter
how much I wash it....it still has a little grit left in the
seams.
Suppose I better hurry up. She will be home in a couple hours!

Put it in again and with some Jet Dry, works wonders on getting grit off. Maybe you should send in your picture as a testimonial for maytag... Or just buy a new pan and use that one for casseroles and cakes.

I use to sell a lot of British Classic Car parts on eBay, (MG, Triumph, Jaguar, etc). I would buy used parts and clean them up prior to listing. You would be shocked how good a set of used dirty taillight lenses come out, when you soak them in Joy dishwashing detergent and then run them through the dish washer.

One day my wife came home early and found her dishwasher loaded with antique taillight lenses.

Still a sore spot, even years later.

OK...she's been home for several hours now. She laughed
pretty good at the comments from you guys. I just put a
coat of black primer on the oil pan and it turned out really nice.
The oil pan is for HER car anyway!

She is in a really good mood.

OH.....did I mention that I ALSO spent the whole evening putting
up the Christmas tree with her...putting the wreath up over
the garage gable....put lighted garland on the front door.

We've got Christmas music playing in the background...
little rum / cola. This is our 1st Christmas with both kids
out on their own......but she's in a pretty good mood.
I may put an intake manifold in there tomorrow!

I'm a lucky man!
