That's my Gary. I met her at Carlisle. She's a slant6 gal. Look at the tattoo on her arm.
So I’ve been working on a design for a welding and metal working bench. Made of 2x4x.250 wall tubing and a 1/4 inch plate, is 740 pounds too heavy for a work bench haha
I have a welding table, 1 inch armor plate. What do you think that weighs? 4 foot square....Got it at an auction, some ***** was tough to get home....
I have all that in Solidworks. All I gotta do is select the type of metal, enter dimensions and it’ll tell me everything from weight to sheer strength, bending point, temperature range
That would be a nice welding table!
At old workplace my predecessor built a welding table. 1/4 plate on top. Super heavy framework.
I welded a bunch of 1/2” nuts to it and set a 4x4 5/8 thick plate on it and used jack bolts to set it flat. Then welded the bolts. Worked very well. Now im back at home with no welding bench.

86° and Real smokey out there. The auto enthusiasts of the slammed variety
are having a gathering in a hotel parking lot in town.
They're not my style, but I do appreciate their dedication and hard work on their hot rods.
West Coast Customs Cruisin' Nationals was scheduled for the fairgrounds this weekend.
Car show was cancelled just like the 410 Sprint Cars at the speedway tonight.

Get er' done!
Well, I did get more done today. Trimmed material from rear window. Will trim bottom trim tomorrow. Dad always said haste makes waste. Besides too much beer......
How long do you think it took to put that top on at the the factory? 15 minutes? If that.....Crazy huh.....
Nice!
Ya, but they didn't care too much how it looked........
And if you do them all day you would get pretty good and fast. (not half fast like me) LOL
I think they tossed it out over the assembly line. If it landed on the right car it was ‘another job well done!’

For a seemingly impervious material water wise, they ALL got rust bubbles under the vinyl
. No matter the manufacture. My mother's '69 LTD 2 door had the rust bubble thing goin' on by 1973 and we lived in the frickin' Mojave Desert 
.
Actually, that was one area of mine that had almost no rust.For a seemingly impervious material water wise, they ALL got rust bubbles under the vinyl

That must have been one of those "We need a black GTS with vinyl right now! Pick the next one on the line!" after the roof had gotten a real paint job
. I hate it when my mind works that way, like a sales manager that is .
It’s funny you say that, my 74 charger SE I had, triple black, vinyl top. I was surprised to find when I removed the vinyl top, it was painted and rust free. Even where the trim met the quarter which is where they rust a lot of times on those 3rd gensThat must have been one of those "We need a black GTS with vinyl right now!

Sad part is, that was about the only area of the damn car that was rust free
