"Free"lance wrench turner for challenge

I'm in the Central Florida area. I'm willing to travel to Gainesville, Ocala, Daytona, and Jacksonville to lend a hand to any team. I want to dip my toe in the kool-aide before I drink it. Free on weekends and I'm good with a hammer.

I'm not really looking to drive at the Challenge, I just want to wrench this time around.

If anyone needs a hand getting their entry together at the last minute, I'm your man.

We may have just the plan for you!

Ok, the hammer could come in handy, but how are you duct tape, bailing wire and PVC pipe?

You are welcome to hang with us, but I suspect any failure would be terminal, can you say handgrenade

I can fix plenty of things with duct tape and bailing wire. I'm awesome with PVC pipe and think it's underutilized.

Best of all, I'm not a beer drinker so much, so I can be the designated parts runner!

Dude you are so hired

Can you solder a cracked oil pressure hose using a propane cooking stove, thread a standard banjo bolt into a metric hole and have everything hold pressure for 3 passes down the drag strip?? If so where were you last year, lol

PM me with location and time details, along with what I need to bring and I'll be there. The only day I'm not available in the near future is this coming Saturday, due to a trip to the airport.

And I guess I could try to solder with a camp stove. I'm sure that would take a while since they don't put out heat in the same manner as a torch. I guess my question would be why no one had a cheap propane torch.

In reply to Pseudosport:

Sounds like just another day at the office with the clowns I work with, buckets of talent, not so much with money

I'll also make myself available Challenge weekend. I think it would be great experience to float around as a gopher before jumping in with an entry of my own.

clowns, no money, two out of three is still pretty good

Creepy factor, a welder with a binder o' certs that doesn't smoke or drink coffee, and he's the normal one of the bunch
