    For the tig welders

    TIG welding really isnt that tough to do. Basically, if you can gas weld/braze then you pretty much got the basics of TIG welding down. So if ya cant practice TIG specifically, then as long as ya have access to a set of torches, you can still practice the basics of it that way.

    Shop dogs

    Reason, you'll have to get some pix up, my gf and I would love to see 'em. Aerial is still young, so every time she hears a door, doorbell, etc. she goes bonkers. She doesnt even want you thinking about coming through that door if you dont belong there. lol But she really is a excellent dog...

    Shop dogs

    You said it, Inked! I'll admit, she has a mean bark, but as soon as shes done barkin' shes licking your face off! We have a couple friends that have Dobie's and stuff, they're dogs are huge, dont bother them a bit. Aerial is a little tyke and they are scared to death of her. It is a shame...

    Just Had Some Excitement Here

    I know exactly what you mean! From what I understand, they have, within the last year, allowed any pre '48 vehicle WITH a Hot Rod plate, to run without fenders. Until now, you absolutely had to have fenders and all the other bull crap to really limit creativity with your automobile. Hell, they...

    Just Had Some Excitement Here

    Don, glad to hear nothing happened to you. I dont own a gun, however have been contemplating it for some time now. I dont live in the worst area, but by no means am I leaving my doors open at night either. One thing I always worried about was my enclosed race trailer and the racecar and...

    Car movies?

    The Choppers is a good b-flick. Junkman, done by H.B. Halicki, same guy that did the original Gone In 60 Seconds. He has another car flick too, but the name escapes me. Oh, and The Big Wheel is another old b-flick starring Mickey Rooney as a young racer following in his deceased fathers foot...

    The 'ole pulse and move

    I used this method in a number of places on my '53 F-100, mainly where you'll see the welds themselves. Always makes for a nice look when done correctly.

    Very true, now if I lived in an area where people actually loved working on old cars and trucks then maybe I'd have a whole group full of crazy beer drinkin' SOB's! lol
