Weld actually can weld
 

I know that most of you just know me as a post whore... and probably many of you visualize me as a guy that just talks the talk but can't walk the walk. Of course - there's a few Lat G members that have been the direct recipients of some of my limited skills... but that is few compared to the many members here that know me. :D

So I started this just to show that sometimes - between posts - I have 24 hours a day - 7 days a week - 365 days a year - to do exactly whatever it is I feel like doing.... and I started a project on my brother in laws blown '69 Camaro. A new sub frame - complete wiring - some interior work - slick the firewall - new inner fender closeouts - and whatever else he comes up with for me to do. :unibrow:

All of this will be done in time to take the car to Santa Barbara Wheels and Waves show mid May.:woot:

The sub was fitted - modded - and is now at the powder coater. The inners where modded and are at the sand blaster so I can finish and paint. Was easier to just drop them with the sub and have 'em come back clean as a whistle.

Here's the firewall tacked in - which I started this AM -- cleaned the firewall (pays to have MANY different tools to do this QUICKLY!). Had to break for some caloric intake... so posting this while sipping soup. I started this morning and have still maintained a running email dialog with Ironworks... put a deposit on a new arbor for the front walkway - had the guy here to reinstall a 10" duct for my barbecue vented hood (relocated it in the roof when I had a new roof put on the house)... so cleaned the firewall to bare metal and got 'er tacked in. So nanner nanner. :lol: :woot:

Very nice work,from the guy with one of the best last name's.I alway's knew you could use the tool's in your Garage.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Scott

About time you come out of retirement & get your butt to work!!

Can't wait to see it @ wheels & Waves.. One of my favorite shows.. close down State street for it.. Will you be attending the show MR. Weld?? Let me know.. Sorry I missed you @ Del Mar.. but have been stuck @ the shop going thru a re-model..

OXOXOXO

PS. Opened the boxes you sent over.. all looks good! Thanks

Funny part about it is --- I do more car ****zzzzzz a day or in a week than most do in 6 months... I just don't bother to post it up. In the last two months I've replaced a guys fuel tank and made his fuel lines - did some suspension work on a buddies '55 - been to Barrett Jackson - Grand National Roadster Show - RTTC 2 - Del Mar - tore this POS Camaro apart and did the set up for the sub and some mods... Helped a buddy with some EFI work -- and there's more that I can't even remember!


EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Guess maybe I should just get back to debating whether or not I should click the shocks up two or down two.... :rofl: :rofl: :woot:

Weld -- I knew you had it enya. :thumbsup: :D

Wow TIG welded sheetmetal. You are the man.

But why does a man of your stature need a lift. I'm just sayin.:D

Cause his neck has a permanent kink in it, that only allows him to look up slightly. There is no need to look down.

You forgot to add that your having a 32 built.

Very cool.
Mr. Weld does have tools and can use them as well! Good job Greg.:thumbsup: :cheers:

So it's 6:15 --- and I've showered already and dressed to go out to dinner - and the DSE plate is now FULLY TIG welded in.

All in a days work!

EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA:woot:
