Sweating working on your Charger!?

[Indygenerallee]

Hey guy's with this unbearable heat we have been having this year I was wanting to see how many of you have not been working on your Charger or other project cars due to the heat?? For me with days 95-105 degree days I cannot stand it!!! I am looking forward to fall and cooler temps (hopefully!!!)

106 today in Northern California, going to 111 on Saturday. Humidity today is 11%. Fire danger at the extreme.

I just don't how you guys with humidity make do. 

[Mytur Binsdirti]

I've been toying with the idea of getting an air conditioner for my garage.

[Finn]

I stuck an AC in my garage. If you can, do it. Its been 111 degrees lately here in SoCal but my garage is a
steady 74.

[Cooter]

Working in the shop on my Challenger right now and it's 90.....75% Humidity...No A/C ever. Been working in this heat for over 25 years. Yes, it sucks, but it sucked for the first 25 and it'll suck for the next 15-20 as well.

It's been driving me nuts!   It's been ether pouring rain with wind or dead calm and 95+....and I had my car 80% stripped to bare steel. I have this week off for repairs and have taken to getting up at 5 AM just to work on stuff in under 85 degrees! I've decided I have to paint this thing in sections to avoid my sweat getting on the car while painting after what I went through with the epoxy primer.

[Daytona R/T SE]

I've worked in a sweat shop for the last 25+ years.

It sucks.

My garage is well insulated, heated and air conditioned.

I'm miserable at work all day long,

I refuse to be miserable when I'm working on my cars...

Lowes/Homey D has a bedroom size AC unit for $99. Worth every dime gents.........have the Mrs/GF there to hand you tools/beverage and snackies in her tank top. The big plus here is that with your new AC unit Cranked up you can enjoy her artisans popping tall.  

[68X426]

Tom, you crack me up. 

[Kern Dog]

I work Construction in the heat, the cold, whatever. Luckily, the job Superintendant gave permission for us to wear SHORTS ! Hell yeah! The heat is much more tolerable when I don't get an ass rash from the trapped heat!

[ODZKing]

It's been awful here in upstate NY as well.  Everyday upper 80's into the 90's.  We've broken more 100 degree day records this year than I can remember.
Yes, I haven't gone to a few shows because it has been 90-100.  Carlisle kicked my ass this year too!  I was out of it for better than a week after we got home.

Lol I'm surprised your computer hasn't had a heat stroke if its in the shop in that weather.

[NHCharger]

My shop is well insulated but once I turn all the lights on and start working it doesn't take long to heat up. A few weeks ago as I was dripping sweat while guide coat sanding the 68 I remembered I had a spare A/C window unit on the shelf in the garage. Ten minutes later it was sitting in the shop window. Isn't big enough to cool the shop down, but knocks 10º off the outside temp and removes a lot of the humidity.
I'll have to talk to the wife about the tank top idea but I already know the answer.

[chargerboy69]

My shop is well insulated, but way to large to A/C.

I don't mind the heat.  What I hate is the cold and snow.  No thanks, thats why people will not hear me bitch about the heat.

I am not made for northern Indiana winter weather. If the wife would not care, I would move us to Florida or even Texas.  Maybe Troy would let me stay in his garage.    

[twodko]

You mean Troy's bunker. 

[twodko]

Tom, you crack me up. 

I'm just trying to help my peeps........all of 'em. 

[Ghoste]

I try to only break my Charger in the spring and fall.  That way I have weather for repairs.  It isn't fun in the garage in the blistering heat or the bitter cold.

I'm just glad there are so many people assuring us that Climate Change is nothing but a bunch of Liberal bullshit.  Otherwise I might be a little unnerved by the summer we've had.  

[Tilar]

Climate change has been happening since the beginning of time. The liberals just realised it a few years ago.

I'm with you! While I don't enjoy sweltering in 90-100 degree heat, I'll take it any day over freezing!!!

[Dino]

Working in this heat is one thing but finding out the only way to get the friggin bolts out is by heating them up really made my day!   

This morning rain finally rolled in and it's cooling down so tonight I'll make some wrenches and hope to get those last two bolts out, I miss driving my baby!

[chargerboy69]

You mean Troy's bunker. 

Sure. . I could wash my clothes in a utility sink in the garage and hang them over the Daytona wing to dry.  Sounds good to me. . . . I will call U-Haul. 

[68pplcharger]

Put a/c in my garage when i built it... 
Also bought a torpedo heater for the winter.

[Indygenerallee]

Well my garage is 40x64 so A/C is out of the question... would be killer though!! We did finally have a thunderstorm last night!! I think the first one since March maybe.....

[TK73]

Seattle is naturally A/C'd

Climate change has been happening since the beginning of time. The liberals just realised it a few years ago.   

It's the "Liberal", "Elitist", "Academic" PhD's figured that part out... Problem is conservatives can be led to science but ya just can't teach 'em any...   

[Tilar]

   I doubt you'd find a conservative that wants to learn the liberals view of science. While we understand and accept that things like climate change do exist, We're also smart enough to understand that it started happening at the beginning of time and not when Jebediah Yoder's horse farted.

Extinctions happen naturally too.  But humans have increased the process a bit lately. 

[twodko]

Tilar, thats some funny stuff right up in there! Uh huh. 

[Rolling_Thunder]

its been high 90s this week in SoCal by the beaches...     fairly humid though -  My boss dictates jeans and shirts for work...    he still hasnt gotten the A/C fixed in the building so...    I sit in a building, facing the sun, all glass front windows, and all the walls are metal...   talk about an oven....    So I just informed him that as core body temp rises productivity goes down. 

[Musicman]

Well, I don't have a garage really, so I am forced to work outside in the driveway, on the blacktop, with the sun beating down on me. Ever climb into a car that has been sitting out in the direct sun for hours on a hot humid day?... Well, I've been gutting my car under these conditions for the past few weeks, getting it ready for a restoration.... so yea, you could say that I have been sweating while working on my Charger... in fact, that would be an understatement.

[b5blue]

Hang in there brother! I took to putting a tarp up on the end of my carport to block the AM sun...20 degree difference! I also bought the biggest fan Walmart had to keep the skeeters off me!
