free to young local (Northwest) HAMBer

[Paul]

one time offer here, while cleaning shop today I found and cleaned up one of my old welders.

It's an older Miller AC buz box, all it needs is a pig tail.

it's free to the first under 25 HAMBer that has an older car that they actualy work on,

I mean a pre '55 domestic that needs fab work to swap in an engine/transmission and or suspension.

pm me or reply here, let's see what you got.

Paul

[Tman]

but someone please take this...

Garth

[Paul]

That's right, it has to go to someone who NEEDS it.

[SwitchbladeTeeth]

I need it, want it, and could use it. I am in Florida. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif How much does it weigh and would you box it up and throw it at the UPS man for me ?
Almost forgot, I am 20.

[CharlieLed]

I had a buzz box just like this one and sold it on ebay a coupla years ago. FedEx ground charged me $62 to ship it from SoCal to Kansas...

[SwitchbladeTeeth]

Ouch, If its that much my broke ass cant afford it right now. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gifOH WELL

[Rocky]

Uhhhh, my name is Rock...er, Bob! yeah, I'm bob and I'm only fifty fiv..er, 12.........I mean 18. I'm 18 and need that welder onna counta my brother.......I mean, my dog ate mine.

Please send it to Omah........uhhh, er, to Oregon where my dog, I mean my brother will pick it up for my 18 year old pimply ass!

[Rocket88]

What a generous offer! You rock 60's.
Any young B.C. guys need a welder? If ya don't have a way to get down there, we could zip down in my little tuck!
Bob.....the jig is up!

[Rocky]

DOH!

[Wowcars]

Is 26 too old? Also, do I get any points for being good friends with the guy you bought your '60 from?

[Assdragger]

Very cool...pass that torch! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[atch]

60's

if it turns out that switchbladeteeth is the most deserving hamber and a hambrelay can't be arranged i'll offer to put up $25 of the shipping costs. if some other hambers will match that then it could be shipped to florida. easy, huh? if this is what you decide to do just pm me your address and i'll send the $. (i realize you said a nw rodder, so if you don't want to ship it just say so)

how about it? anyone else willing to pitch in a few bux to help a hamber?

[briggs&strattonChev]

is a buzz box an arc (stick) welder?

(yes im an idiot)

[Jkustom]

Well Youve seen my black primer 54 chevy around westseattle, youve revved yer truck at me a couple of times... Maybe youve seen my 56 buick wagon around too...

I am 22 almost 23. My 54 needs some patch panels and holes filled and stuff... I definetly work on my cars, cuz if I dont, I dont get to work.... Am I a candidate? -J.

220 volt AC stick, runs 1/8 6013 etc. real nice

this is not what you need for body work but is perfectly adequite for fabbing motor mounts and such.

like old school.

[Humboldt Cat]

I'm a 29 Northwest HAMB'er, don't know if that's young enough, but I could sure use it for body work on my project '57 F-100. Wouldn't be able to drive up for it anytime soon, but could go for the shipping.
Once I get home from work I'll include pics of the particular areas o' work planned, for it. Am I young enough?

[Holidazed]

That is very cool Paul! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Humboldt Cat]

I gotta get better at reading the fine print: "under 25" and "pre 55" (close but no ciggy).
It's a great offer, I also like the idea to pitch in on the shipping for a right-coast HAMB'er to inherit it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[donovandagger]

ITS ME!!!! IM 23 and i live in Sacramento Cali... i have a 34 ford pu.... iam buying metal to build a frame soon because i want to z it and do a suicide front end setup... man if th9is doesnt qualify me i dunno what does....lol i will pm you with more info...thanks for the opportunity.

HAHAHAHA, id LOVE to see these cars after they have stick welded the panels in hahahahahaha. WARP CITY!! Ok I guess I dont REALLY hope misfortune on others, but it WOULD be funny! Not to be a smart ass or anything..........

if you guyz dont realize, it would warp your panels SEVERELY using a stick welder. (not saying that I havent done stupider shit though)

Briggs

[Kustm52]

Briggs, it can be done....I've done a lot of patch panel work with my old lincoln buzz box.....it's definitely an acquired touch. a whole lot of little spot welds...running any kind of bead is out of the question. I finally got one of the eastwood stitch welders...made it a little easier. All the sheetmetal work on my '52 was done with it....because that was what I had!

Brian

[badpat]

if derrick can use it, i can pick it up and deliver for him

[Humboldt Cat]

Hey, suppose posting pics of weld work is made a stipulation of acquiring the welder?

[greaseball]

I'm 21,
I'm LEARNING to weld
(yea, I know how, but I need more practice!)

And my car is going FULL-ON CUSTOM----
(The only problem is it's a 57...?)

This WOULD be a BLESSING,
As I've been hunting around FOR an inexpensive welder...
If I get it,
It WILL get used,
and used ALOT----
Because I won't have ANYTHING else...

2 out of three....?

[atch]

60's,

i've been informed by another hamber that he also would kick in $25 for shipping as long as he remains anonymous.

anyone else?

[FeO2]

I'll kick in another $25 as long as I remain anonymous too. Oops...

[Kustm52]

'tis the season..blah...blah.

60's, with your blessing I will toss in with the welder one slightly used, but still working Eastwood Stitch Welder....it's nothing like a wire feed but it will get the job done if you are patient. I'll cover the shipping on it to wherever the welder ends up going....

That is, assuming I can find it in my intricate filing system (or would that be piling)! I'll see if I can get a pic up sometime today.

Brian

[kustomd]

Too bad I live so far away I need one also. I keep having to rent one or find some one who I can borrow one from. I'm 23 and have a 29 model A, chopped 54 chevy that I am just now getting the motor mounts and such set up for the car. I also have a 60 chevy. does that count.

[Kustm52]

To save time...I stole a pic off ebay.

Looks just like this.....

Brian

[Paul]

I think it’s cool to see the offers to help ship this thing,

and I wish all you young hot-rodders everywhere- switchbladeteeth, donovandagger, kusomd and all,

the best but,,

what I would like to see is the local scene here encouraged.

...........

This tool can make your serious chassis modifications or fabrication possible,

You could say, weld up a hinge system for a tilt front end, brackets to mount a straight axle, mounts for an engine transmission swap, brackets for mounting a beefy rear end and go racing!

Or step the frame in the front and C notch the rear for a ground scraping custom!

Or like donovandagger said you could build a whole frame from scratch for a real hand made hot rod!

(or even something a little less ambitious) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

..........

At this point jcustom is the front runner,

if he turns it down then we ship it.

Paul

[Paul]

northwest guys?

last chance..

[briggs&strattonChev]

what is a "Stitch welder?"

looks like you put it onto the stick welder clamp maybe ???

do you use filler rods or electrodes, or no rods?

hows it used

[53_210]

I wish I had a project to use it on, but I don't really NEED it now. By the way, I totally love seeing all this stuff goin to the younger guys (like myself) It's totally encouraging to see people helping each other. Now that I sound lame, 'night.

Derrick

[k-member]

Paul, JKustom is 22 and trying to keep it alive and was at my house today using my welder once again. I don't mind, but he does live around 25-30 miles away from your town, and would save him many trips to my house and trying find time for both of us to get together and fab and weld. And also he could get his nailhead in his 34 pick-up alot sooner(Maybe by spring) he wants to take it to PASO http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just passing along a good word for a friend, later
Keith

[littledeucecoupe427]

HEy I'm 19 and here In Vancouver B.C, I have a 1928 Essex to be done up as a '60's show rod and a 62 chevy would I qualify??? I have been wanting to weld for the longest time but can't afford any equipment!

[redmeat]

<font color="red"> Yes my vote is for Jkustom also.........he is the real deal the kid has a mid-50's Buick, a 34 pickup(project), and another car I can not remember....he does his own shit and has a real passion......you would be kepping the tradition alive with him!!

thanks for listening

Howard </font>

[Paul]

thanks all,

I just pm'ed jkustom,

it's his.

...damn, that was harder then I thought it was gunna be, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Paul

[Spooky]

Wellllll....I am 37, but my son is 15. He loves to grind and wrench when we are tackling the Miss Fortune roadster. I have a few contacts around town here who could really teach him a thing or two and it would be a great Christmas present. What do ya say?

[atch]

paul (60's style) - this is a pretty darn cool thing you have done. i hope that good things come your way. you deserve them.

brian (kustm52) - it rocks that you are going to send along the stitch welding attachment. you also deserve good things to come your way.

if there was an applause smiley to attach here would be the place for it.

jkustom - it sounds like you know where you're going and that you're a good choice to receive this welder. i wish you the best and hope that this gift will help you get even more involved with building your rod. like someone above said; post pix of the results, please.

[Kustm52]

Hey Jk, send me some info and I'll see about getting the stitch welder on the way...

Brian

[CGkidd]

Hey Paul cool of you to donate that welder. Jk Hopefully I will actually be able to get around and see some rides soon.
Eric

[redmeat]

<font color="red"> I have just one thing to sy..........PAUL YOU ROCK!!!!!.......you could not have given this to a better person...Jkustom is the real deal of a hotrodder and a damn good guy to boot......I know he will use it fruitfully!

thank you again for doing this for a good kid!!!!!

R E D M E A T </font>

[donovandagger]

i would like to make sure that someone more deserving than i recieves this gift.....i kinda failed to mention i work at a rod &amp; custom shop... i have access to welders....i just was interested isn having my own! dont need to be greedy......good luck!

[wes]

glad to see jkustom got it. hes a good guy a could really use it
wes

[thirtytwo]

hey 60s style change your name to santa , BITCHIN,

[JSM56]

Damn i wish i would have checked this out earlier! but i guess i wouldn't qualify cause my car is a 56. but hey its the same body as 55. anyways, yeah, its cool of you to help out younger builders like myself, because most of us are broke asses, and just want to learn to burn some metal. would have saved me money on buying a welder to do frame mods.

[whodaky]

what a great gesture 60's and '52. Congrats jkustom. Hot rod and kustom people, there are none better!

[plmczy]

Damn what a kool thing to do you guy's. Jkustom, are we gonna see some pics of your work when you get these? Congrats to all. later plmczy

[41sled]

Im 17, and work on a 41 ford and 48 chevy... That count?? Living in New Jersey.. And looking for pre 1931 to tinker with.

[Hackerbilt]

Damn, Paul thats nice of you!
You really do have "Style" to do that for a young guy.

Stickwelding is AWESOME! I love the power in it! You can hear it eat into the metal...penetration is a non-issue! Burn thru is the problem!!!! (just practice!)
I have a small MIG but my Buzzbox is "weapon of choice" for anything 1/8th or thicker.

Read back into the Techweek stuff and you can learn how to add a TIG head and Gas for sheetmetal fabrication! Gotta check into that myself!

Kid, you just moved up a notch in the HOT ROD ranks!
Now, go take a course or learn how from a friend and ENJOY your newfound "Hellfire"(tm)!. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
