Did they show the finished weld? A lot of times, you can't see any movement in the videos but they actually do move. I'll second that. And...
Quenching steel hardens it. If you quench your welds, they are going to require more grinding (and thus more heat) because of that. Tack...
I knew I was forgetting something. D'oh!
Since I've gotten a few requests on how to do it, I figured I'd do a write up for anyone who wants to change the colors on their cars. You can DL...
What is the new color scheme? I can do a write up on how to change colors. I don't know what a watson paintjob is, but here's the...

Good list. My one additional request would be; if you specify a type of wheel or product, include a picture of that too. That way all the images...
This reminded me that it's a good idea to clear out photobucket/imageshack/etc. often so the stuff posted in the art threads doesn't sit there...
What a moron. Upsetting? You $%&*ing stole. I'm glad to hear he is going to start messing with fast food logos. Those guys don't mess around.
That's incredible work for Photoshop. I can't imagine not doing some of it in Illustrator.
I'm in a similar boat. I'm 36, and like neilswheels, I'm tired of doing a dull job for (little)money, not because I like it. I'm a sculptor who...
Couldn't quite figure out how you wanted the tail light mounted, so I went with where the old one is. [IMG]
How small is small parts? Are you talking about small parts exclusively, or painting a whole car too? For small parts, why not build a...
Can you include a picture of the color, the roll pan, and the tail lights?
Ideally you would corner weight the car with the springs off and get accurate weights. Also, if you were to look at (gasp) Honda boards, you...
I can weld 1/4" with my Lincoln 135, one step down from yours. I've also welded thinner than 22gauge. If it's not your polarity or wire, it could...
I mentioned it in another thread, but I'd use a clay bar. Used to be a detailer's secret, but you can buy them at Auto Zone, etc. now. I like...
Did it pass the magnet test? It might be aluminum for weight purposes.
I did some poker chips a couple years ago (posted them last week) in a similar style (much less detailed since I only needed pieces of cars)....
Good stuff. I've been using strips of garbage bags spray glued to my forms as a release agent. Of course I've just made a few bits for...
[IMG] I got a little bored, so it's a bit of a hackjob.
There's a detailing product called a clay bar. I prefer the Clay Magic bar they sell here at Auto Zone. It'll clean up overspray, contaminants,...
Got any pics of the flames? [IMG]
You can download Photoshop Elements for a trial period here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/ but after that, you'll have to buy it...
The pencil work through page 4 is awesome. Some art deco inspired poker chips I designed for when I can afford them: [IMG] My dog: [IMG]
