Weld actually can weld

[GregWeld]

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.

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.

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

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.

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....

Weld -- I knew you had it enya.

[ironworks]

Wow TIG welded sheetmetal. You are the man.

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

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.

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
