Good tips, DS, thanks!
Luckily (or not) the carport is behind the garage, so the hanging parts are secluded. Only problem is, the truck is too tall to drive through the garage (I built in front and back doors for drive through), which is why I bought the temporary shelter to cover the truck in the driveway.

The drum surface conditioning tool is amazing! 40 grit cuts through paint, rust and filler like butter and leaves the metal shiny. I use a disc where I can't fit it in.

I will be swimming every day in Hawaii for a couple weeks, so that should be good therapy for the shoulder. Actually both shoulders are in bad shape from years of overhead electrical work, ski injuries, mountain biking, and general abuse, but only one surgery so far.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
