Told Jerry to come by the shop. He made some lame excuse about having to work. Here's a couple pics for ya man. Trimmed off the ass end. [IMG]...

Ok, somehow I guess I failed to make this clear. There are no issues with my electrical service from the meter to any of my equipment. My shop is...
I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken. Not quite sure what all this means. I opened my shop last June, and I can't say I've been real...
Here's an update on this. I spent a couple days calling around trying to reach someone who's lane it is to keep the customers happy. I finally...
I have to disagree. I didn't buy this compressor thinking it was good for a year. There is an expectation that it will last much longer than that....
I was singing this things praises as well. I had made many a recommendation on the forums I frequent. I think that gets to me as well. It's like...
Wire size was not an issue. As stated previously, mine was installed by a master electrician. Being a piece of crap hiding behind a previously...
I am going to put this out there because I think fellow hot rodders need to be aware when looking to buy for their shop...and also because I'm...
Customers projects keep interupting me on this thing. I just started back on it the other day with the chopping and sectioning of the cab. Will...
Moved here a year ago after retiring from the Army. Opened the shop in June and have had four customers. Actually one was a full chassis for a...

Nice art. Wish I had that kind of talent. Bob
Welcome from Sanger. Shout if you need anything.
I have a build thread for my KB-1. The build has slowed due to business picking up. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=289945
I'll share some advice. I spent 20 years building cars and bikes as a hobby and side job while I served in the Army. The entire 20 years I knew...
I'm not talking about light gauge stuff. I'm talking about pulsing mig on structural components. Is it being taught in the welding schools? Is...
Ok, got a question. I've been welding for over 25 years and though I wouldn't consider my welds art, they're decent. I've seen a lot of mig in the...
Right across from where Airfield hits Andy Devine there used to be a Texaco gas station that still had the old globe style pumps and right next to...
How long you been in Kingman? I grew up there. graduated HS in 85
I just had the frame and rear fenders for my 47 International done and I paid $162. The whole thing was done with silica and finished in an hour....
Just a quick post about yesterday. I got a call from the sandblaster at about 11:00am. He says it's not raining so if I want to bring the frame...
Although I do adjust my welding technique based on the situation, I try to never do the overlapping spot welds. That makes for a colder weld and...
Got some more done yesterday. Used the plasma cutter to cut the frame apart. I cut about 1/8" from the scribed line. I cut the back lines first...
Yeah, well aware of how prices have gone up. A little over 50% since January. Still, the big industrial houses are out of line! I just got off...
Jesus! I just got raped by Ryerson Steel. I am new to the DFW area and have been trying to find a decent supplier for materials. Nobody wants to...
Very nice El P! I have your Mustang II thread saved as a subscription for reference. I think you've got one of the best thought out setups. I've...
Frame notches are pretty much finished. The underside of the notches still need to be ground smooth but that will wait until I pull the cab off...
A little more progress on the truck. Inside notch halves welded together [IMG] Here's how the notches are going in. This will allow me to...
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm pretty stoked about this build. I can totally picture this truck in my head and it will be bitchin. I did give...
