Some of you may have one of these but if you don't, you need one. I was taping off the heads for paint when this Margarita machine came through the door. Just add oil and gas (uh don't forget the margarita mix, Tequilla and ice. Nothing better than a gas blender, oh, wait...... a pot of Texas chili came through the door as well.

Please, no chili or Margaritas in the heads.





Make sure to hold the lid on!

77/350- cool but I am surprised there was neither a seat attached nor rear view mirrows to see who was standing in line in back of you.

I like the mirror idea. I'm not sure how I could hold the camera still to take the pic I was laughing so hard. I kept shouting "hurry up: as I was looking for something to drink out of.

nice blender on taping the heads for paint what I did was spray the entire head minus the under valve cover and combustion surface. when the paint was about 15 mins old I wiped the areas I did not want paint with a rag soaked with laquer thinner. worked great
