has never been extracted. The original paint is still there, plus dirt and moist. The sheet is paper thin with bubbles and holes. We need to do a lot more welding than we estimated. This can be too much to handle.”
Three sanders
The foot is working like crazy on Rabbe. I don’t know what he’s listening to in his headphones but he has been working that sand machine nine hours straight by now – and the foot as well. Dennis has never sanded before. He copies Rabbe. Another one copying Rabbe, 12 year old Gottfrid Krantz had never before finished:
– Daddy, I don’t want to miss a single minute. He looks like bug standing there in his big mask, working on the hood.
Per to Samuel. – Hey, this puller to the steering wheel that you bought on Pomona doesn’t work. A minute later a low pitched bang is heard coming from the garage. Per has gone fishing for the universal tool – the sledge hammer and is sitting with a loose wheel in his lap. Is he quick or what…
04:05 AM it’s getting bright outside. We hear a new noise in the shop. Samuel is laying the ground coat. Look at them. They know they know they’re going to be back at the shop in less than five hours for another 20 hour shift. They know they will sleep less than four hours.
Night in Härnösand. Rabbe’s follower. Gottfrid Krantz 12 years in borrowed shoes from the garage and about his newfound friend: – Dad, he looks scary dangerous but he’s really nice.
The hour of horrible jokes. Coffee break 02:08 AM. – I would like an ice cream that smells like filler, Rabbe says. – Aha, you mean a filler flavored ice cream in a puddingcone, says Per.
Welding, sanding and painting simultaneously.
Another problem. The felt channels for the rear windows had to be thrown out as they were taken off and we don’t have any new ones. I send a cry for help in the night in the comment feed. I’m sitting in front of the computer. The tiredness is overwhelming.
This team has been awake for the past 23 hours and has been working like crazy for ten hours. The one part-goal releases the next. It’s three in the morning. No one is uttering a word about giving up. I have never seen anything like it.
