In my younger days when I had no garage I just duct taped a plastic tarp to the hood and attached the other end to something. I did an intake swap on my old tbird in the rain LOL. Now I work on my car in my pajamas sometimes.. oh how things change.

I should of did this at my shop. but I spend enough time there. I'll get it done.
The rain did give me a chance to clean parts and paint them, so not much lost time.

I hear ya about wanting to do it at home, I've been spending more time working than playing lately. Good for my wallet but no energy left to get in my own garage and turn some wrenches.

Sit back in your beach chair, have a beer and wait for that paint dry, and relax. Thats whats its all about anyway, isn't it? Thats why I love this hobby so much, nothing more relaxing than working on your car Have fun ;)

Freakin billit timing set took every little bit of free play away.
I will never do this in the back yard again.
