If it's for small things, look up how model kit people set up in-house booth's with ventilation and everything. They seem pretty neat and work well enough.

In a little while I have to drop my car off for inspection and crawl around under the truck for a bit. Low coolant light came on for my wife when she hit the grocery store this morning and since the level was normal when I did maintenance in April, I'm sure it's leaking somewhere. Glad she had the presence of mind to stop, let the temp drop, and fill the reservoir to the appropriate level! Quite a woman!

How's life on your sides?

Cant complain too much from over here. Glad the foam cannon worked out. I love it.

No broken B pillars from glass swap?

A coolant system pressure tester would be helpful in finding the weak points. Even money bet is on the radiator cap/overflow tank pressure cap being bad. They go bad gradually and dump the coolant on the ground while you are driving.

I am considering a wrap for the M3

I've picked up all my parts from him at his shop. Let me know if you still need something - I can definitely get you in touch with him. He's off and on busy. So sometimes I get responses within a couple minutes and other times it's a week before I hear from him.

Nope! Though the original tech realized he was out of his element and (wisely) called for backup. 2nd guy showed up, had everything off in just a couple minutes without issues, but had done a few of these before.

Hey brother I know we talked about this. I got my b-pillars confused. The one I was speaking with you about is not the Z. The Z ones still have the top pawl that tends to break. But you want to unclip the top one first, not the bottom ones like I was saying, and the top one pops straight out with a panel pry tool (no hook like the other one I was thinking of). The bottom ones come out easier and also are easier to replace if they break since they are just clips.
