Can it be car related? Here is a seat frame I built from scratch that I finished today... and a couple of welds from the project. I need a lot more work but my welding is getting better.

Sooner or later these A**holes get what they deserve. I just hope its' someone on here that gets to go after him.

I took off from work yesterday too and gave myself a 3 day weekend! Haha thanks very much guys for the birthday wishes.

Thanks guys. It is a lot of fun, but there's always dirty work and sh** jobs that nobody ever talks about. haha. Not all of it is glory work as you all know so well.

Flat black engine bays after someone restores a car. Who cares if it came that way! Take the extra time to paint the engine bay! It looks way better! Uhhh, horrible/unsafe welds on hot rods. I've seen some crazy stuff. If you can't weld, don't try on parts that could break and cause...

THANK YOU ALL. I was grinning ear to ear while reading all of your replies! All of the compliments are appreciated. I get paid to go with the boss and other guys from the show to autorama in detroit on friday! How cool is that!? Thought I'd give you guys an updated shot of the Suburban...

It went to a good home!

No sir, that was sold a while back. I regret it partially. If I had known what I know now when I had it I would have finished it and painted it. Thanks Jeremy!

DD, I have a lot to learn still! I am willing to bet you could still school me in a lot of things "car"! I only learn as much as the older gents around me willing to teach me the tricks of the trade! And yeah Mike, learning this stuff is going to save me a lot of money when I finally get...

Thanks fellas! I'll be around more with more updates and hopefully be able to chime in on body tech questions! haha. Just wait until I build a hot rod. This summer I'll be looking for a Model T coupe body... building my own chassis... and dropping in a 318 and 904 tranny. I'll make...

Lastly... I started doing body work on the cars we have in the shop after only those two gas pumps and a month or two of experience... they threw me to the dogs on that one! And it's looking like I came out unscathed. Our detail guy is buffing it now so here's a teaser shot. The...

I learned to make little pieces like this.... As well as things like this trunk floor for this Rambler!

I got my big break when they started to have me restore some old gas pumps my boss purchased. This is when we realized I had a natural talent for body work. Or so I am told. I still have something to prove. And when that pumped was done... you would never know it was in such...

I'm sure a lot of your remember me, and that there have been many many new additions since the last time I have been active here on the forums. I thought I'd take the time to update you guys on some of the things that have been going on. As some of you may remember, in June of 2010 I got a...

Sorry, didn't see the date on the original post... either way, keep driving it. lol. I'd personally buy a smaller wheel.. 16s or 17s instead of the 18s and paint it Some sort of graphite/gunmetal color. I'm not afraid to admit that I like tuner cars... when they're done tastefully.

Drive the piss out of it and kill some Honduhs. I like the eclipses and the talons. I'd build one and drive on actually if I had extra money to throw around (either a talon or a stealth). Just drive it. Good gas mileage and fast? Yes please.

Welll, not really all that soon... more like now. The new laguna seca (spelling?) mustangs come with two different keys... and the computer goes into normal driving with one key or "sport/race" mode when you use the other key. :angry7:

In my opinion it would just depend on how much you can trust her to drive safely and responsibly. I know some young guys and girls around town that I wouldn't trust with a stock civic, and others that I'd feel safe riding with inside high horse cars. If you have any concerns about how she'd...

See, all I see there is a off the wall hot rod in bare primer. It isn't even rusty, and the frame is finished completely... all painted... and it has shiny chrome wheels on it. Perfect example of the term being used too loosely.

Hate them. After getting this job at the rod shop it shows a lot more skill to be able to put the work in and finish the car. Sorry, but if I have a car and want people to look at it, I don't want anything ratty at all... unless it's just a temporary work in progress sort of deal. Plus, it...

Yikes! Jokes aside he's lucky to be alive.

Hopefully in the garage taking more pictures :cheers:

Our roadrunner is going to be pushing almost 600 horse after we rebuild the hemi (at the fly wheel)... but we also have a street friendly gear in the rear end.... but it'll be streetable... and fast, lol.

Very nice.

If you were local I would take it in a heartbeat! Need a rear for my roadster project. Bump for you.

Bump for some cool valve covers! Got a pair of these on the 318 I just bought. Makes a nice nostalgia look.

By the way, it already has a PerTronix Flame-thrower II coil and aftermarket Distributor... Don't know what distributor is on it, but the cap is red... Someone at work thought it was a Mallory unit. Could be an Ignitor II? There's a lot of stuff on this engine that I'm going to be able to...

When I opened the thread and saw the picture of the truck I was expecting the worse when I started to read the post... thank god they're all alright, because by the looks of it, it could have been MUCH worse. Definitely had a guardian angel nearby!

Yeah, learned that one real quick. Apparently a guy I work with told my boss about the incident about it when I was away for a few min and my boss was more concerned about damaging the engine hoist than anything else. Wasn't too happy when I found out about that :wack:

Bought a 318 and 904 trans from my boss a couple of weeks ago and forgot to share with you guys. Some of you have heard that I'll be starting a track roadster project as soon as the rampage is gone. I will be using a model A frame and a "t" body... not sure on the make of the body. Plans...
