I wish I could watch Roadster shop do what they do. I understand welding expands and shrinks metal, it's a constant fight when I weld in patch panels, but to try and keep a roughly 16 foot long frame from warping over the entire course? WOW....

That's part of the reason they use jigs....

Saturdays I run the parts department from 7:30-12. It's slow enough that I can usually sneak in the back and work on some of my own things. I think I'm going to start trying to burn 30-60 minutes tig'n scrap together. It won't earn me any extra money....now....but I gotta learn how to do this.
