Hi Folks
Sorry have not been in lately I have been run over in the shop (spring fever type jobs. I am going to post some photo’s , my wife is loading them on a disc now for me . we are working on a Jeep that had been a grand national winner in the specail events program for over 7 years plus. we started fabbing some stainless goodies for Dave about 2 years ago . This year he came back and he got bummped up another class so we have to put more glitter on for him. He is a great guy to do work for and we seem to keep him happy.
His jeep has been on CNN motor sports a few times so it gets us some screen time .I wil try to load some photo’s here in a bit . thumbsup.gif Keep an eye out im goin to load them tonight. w00t.gif

Hi Garibaldi
This one has only been here for two weeks It is schedual to leave Monday after noon wave.gif Time enough to go get his drive train installed and it is of to the shows.Thanks guys for the comps , this is one of my easier jobs . This one is pretty much like a dres up which is a whole lot easier than fabricating body parts and then getting them to fit.

I have some photo’s of jobs in current , these last a while some a year or two.It would be interesting to see and hear about those if you have some time. 😉
Funny, the site was also running very sluggish for awhile there, fortunately it has straightened itself out now… thumbsup.gif
Looks great. What is your favorite type of project? What do you find the most challenging as far as hard to work with?
Hi GTO
Thats a loaded question , figure all jobs come in different levels of difficulty. I truly enjoy challenges it keeps me fresh . The most difficult thing I have come across is most times the customer. Especialy when the say ” hey I dont want to be that fussy in that area” . I really do struggle with this because my level of fussy is most times different from there’s .And I learned a long time ago when they say that it might be that they cant quite afford to spend that much money in that particular area of the job. Other than that it seems the challenge comes with each job to make it nicer than the last . I realy fear getting stail , I constantly try to make the job or repair less and less obvious. Meening I like the customer to see the finished product before the sealer or primer coat is applied.
This gives the oppertunity for the customer to see the repair in bare steel and I get to watch there expression when they try to find the weld seams or were the repair started or ended. I guess my answer to your question
GTO is the challenges only seem to present oppertunities to learn that Im never done learning and I cant amagine ever not being totaly infatuated with how I make my living every day. icon_wink.gifQuote:Hi GTO
