WOW-Just unreal HEAT for several days COMING!
 
Heat Index is up to 108* and rising. Global Warming? :rofl:

I really feel sorry for all the techs that have to work in shops in this crap. How are you guys doing with your F-Body A/C deletes?

Last year we had a run of over 90*+ for like 45 days that wiped out 1/2 my lawn and scrubs. Plus this extreme heat also will melt acid rain particles right into the finish of your car. You'll need to clay bar the paint right after this weather dies off.

Not too bad in my shop today, 97 degrees at my tool box. There is a constant breeze through the bay doors which helps. The heat does not seem to be bothering me as much this year.

I feel bad for the people that have to work outside in this.

It feels weird working inside in the AC. Still not used to office life after working on roofs for years.

I used my A/C in the truck for the first time all year yesterday.

LTb1ow 07-21-2011 01:19 PM

AC in the daily is ice cold, and it only does ice cold or off. :)

Our tee time is at 4:20 today so we'll find out how bad it really is. There's a decent breeze for now so we should be fine. I just hope the beer cart doesn't overheat! :shock:

the blue 88 has great original r12 AC, but with the glass ttops it gets SO hot in the sun it really doesnt have much effect, at night or in the shade its great. i was trying to diagnose the vettes AC problem all week but gave up and put the dash back together this morning and melted, my truck has no AC again so its parked

I get the luxury of working half my week paving and half my week mowing lawns!

Tuesday guess who got the honors of climbing into the back of the pavement dump trucks and shoveling the crap forward all day long?

Adam1978 07-21-2011 02:35 PM

a jaguar, with leather seats, 2 windows, and no AC is NOT FUN to drive in the sun! Idk why i decided fixing it would be a waste of money -_-

They did make a pop-in set of Gray sunshades that fit inside of the T-Tops.

The shop here is 109* right now....it's ****ing brutal. But I lost a few pounds just by being out in the heat.

BonzoHansen 07-21-2011 03:15 PM

My old shop faced dead west so the sun beat into our shop during the hottest part of the day. I feel bad for those guys

jts98z28 07-21-2011 03:22 PM

we dont have a thermometer in my warehouse but it was hot as hell and those fans do nothing but blow it at you like a hair dryer

It would be a nice side benefit if it stayed off, but most of it is water weight, and after about :cheers: x 12, it will all come back!

Frosty 07-21-2011 03:46 PM

Yeah, going from the AC out into the shop/outside is like walking into a big cloud of WTF.
