Played with rusting up some new seat frames this weekend along with building some tilt forward seat risers for the stock height rides. Building the welding fixtures for those now. Any way these seat frames will have brown Mexican blanket covers soon. I will post up some pics when we get them...

I just got some dies, now I need the machine... Hurry so I can copy it. :cool:

I sold welding equipment for 20 years. The helmets are available from full manual huntsman helmets to fully automated. What you pay for is what you get. Buy from a reparable welding store and buy a brand name helmet then, life will be wonderful for you.. :D

Do a search... there's all kinds of mfg. making them. http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/sunconkit.html

Sweet...;)

Very Cool and great idea... Those memories just light up my Dads face. Thanks for the post

I did a search and this didnt come up so I hope Im not duplicating something here. If so speak up and I can delete it. I have this thing for old Club Plaques and ran across this site. I added the one that I use for my avatar to their list. Do you have one that they dont? My plaque was ran on...

So when are you going to take the torch to the top? Looking good! I helped my boy chop his 48 4 door Plymouth sedan, well now its a 3 door.;) They look pretty sweet hammered.:cool:

You never know? There is a lot of truth to the old adage... the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. But I must admit I love what I do, the people that work with me, as well as my customers. Its kind of a cool little world this rodding community. Good Lord willing, we have...

I would look at the existing cover and make it as close to that as possible. But your method sounds like it should work just as well...

Oh man... Cant believe there is a market for those things.:D:p Back in the day here in So Cal they were less thought of than a towel or a sheet for seat covers. They were used only because they had some color in them. I'm about 30 minutes from the Tecate border crossing in east San Diego county...

Be sure to buy a shade 10 or 11 lens for your helmet. 12 thru 14 is too dark to see mig arcs very well. Also know that you can use straight co2 with your mig... Thats all I use for my 115volt machine. Its a little dirtier but a lot cheaper than Mix. The up side is it leaves a smaller crown but...

Its important to know the difference between slinging mud and constructive criticism. If ya post it up for review and ask the question, expect an answer. With forums I learned long ago how to use the pm's for advice from guys that I learned to respect through their posts. I have a few forums of...

C25 is the most common mig mix which is a 75/25% argon/co2 mix. Straight argon is used for tig welding. Both mixed and straight argon cylinders use with the same fitting in the cylinders, its a CGA 580 so they can fill that cylinder with either mixed or straigt argon. When you use straight co2...

X's 2 on the link! great reference material that I can use often.
