  1. Welcome to the crew Will!
  2. Welcome to the family, Doug!
  3. Welcome to the forum, Marcin! I'm traveling to Europe in March...heading to Switzerland then Germany and Austria
  4. Thanks Eric! Hey, don't know if you saw my reply on another thread... but you and Dan should really plan a local meetup and hold a toolathon or tool challenge...since it seems there are many guys in the Chigago area
  5. IMHO you're better off outfitting a walk-in trailer with similar features yourself. Don't know the price on the custom trailer but unless that company is selling it for less than they make it...they most likely cut corners in order to save on pricing... creating a less-than-perfect trailer that could be better.
  6. Saw the commercial for flex seal tape last night. Looks impressive...but I dunno if I'd trust that has a permanent fix. Guess we'll have to wait and see how the population likes it.
  7. Welcome to the crew...They don't just let anyone into this family so congrats
  8. Welcome to the crew Zach! What kind of sheet metal work do you do? I engineer custom food service casework primarily fabricated with steel tubing and sheet metal
  9. Thanks Chris -- Yup, Patriots fan here! I probably shouldn't say that though, I might get crap for it... People hate losing
  10. Hahaha thats awesome! Let us know how the nailer is after you test it. I was thinking about getting one but the super low price worried me a bit
  11. Hey Phil, nice Monte! My father used to have a 85 and 86' SS...great cars. Cant wait for more updates
  12. Don't want to sound like a douche show-boating his ride but I just wanted to share my story of how I got my RR because I've been asked. Here we go 9 years ago I was a sophomore in high school when I began my hunt for my first car. Knew I wanted something fast, old, and ballsy. My old man is a master mechanic for GM, Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, and Datsun/Nissan. Growing up we always worked on his Covair Spyder and anything that ran on pump gas or diesel. He influenced me to look into 80's firebirds at the time. Found a 92' V6 red with t-tops (non-trans am) on Craigslist and bought her on the spot. Drove it home without a permit or license...whoops Drove it around the neighborhood for a few weeks while we tooled around with it. It was fun...but not nearly fun enough. SO went back on CL and found a 92' 305 v8 Camaro RS (Ralley Sport) that was recently in a bad accident. Bought the car for pennies and began hunting junk yards for parts to fix the damage. After spending merely 2 weeks hunting for parts I had everything I needed and began to fix the body and core support. After roping chains to a tree and un-f*cking my core support I completed the bodywork as well as: swapping the pristine firebird interior with my shoddy camaro interior, and tearing apart the 305... I was ready to get her painted. So I sold the firebird to pay for a Maaco paint job (yup Maaco). Re-painted it black and they actually did a decent job despite recommendations not to let them. Mind you I STILL DON'T HAVE MY PERMIT OR LICENSE. So now my cars all done and I cant even drive it haha. Finally I was old enough to get my permit and started driving it. Still it didn't have the balls I needed it to have. So what did I do? Went back to CL...again. This time I put my Camaro up for sale to try and make a profit. Low and behold a guy emails me asking if I want to trade. I didn't at the time but decided to ask what he had. He said a 72 Roadrunner and sent me pics. I sh*t myself when I saw what he had to offer. It was kept in an airport hanger and recently hit by an F-150. The guy couldn't afford to fix it so he wanted to get rid of it for something in working condition. Drove to him that day and we traded EVEN, no cash whatsoever. Threw my plates on it, took it home, got pulled over because my plates where for my Dads 86 Monte SS but the cop let us get home. Next morning took it to a friends shop and threw it on a lift. Blew out the frame rails to find nothing but dust...no rot, very little rust, Hell Yea! From that point on I spent a month or so cleaning her up and doing the best dent recovery i could before trying to get it painted. Ending up bringing it to a buddy that owns a restoration shop and for cheap $ I helped him prep and paint the car. By the time it was finished I had my license and have been driving and maintaining it since. Still my pride and joy This is her today, looking purdy Summer 2016 after recent buffing Car show 2011 Car show 2013 Body shop pics 2008 before body shop 2008 Day I brought her home How she looked when I picked her up from the hanger How she looked when I picked her up from the hanger
  13. Any idea where I can find that deal?? Cheapest I've found Band New is $160 which would not sway me away from the off-brand batteries https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T7KJ640/ref=psdc_552354_t3_B01HP9LUIO
  14. True I understand where you're coming from regarding brand. But I have to say $60 for a 5.0amp/hr is something I've yet to see for a brand new battery
  15. I might've had to promise to do the dishes for the next year in return HAHA
  16. TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR M18 BATTERIES!!!! Check out this deal...a Milwaukee 5.0amp/hr battery runs $84.75 EACH. This company on Amazon sells there own batteries for 1/2 the price! Price is $82.99 for TWO! YUP I was skeptical too...buying batteries from an unknown supplier?? but after testing for a 3 weeks and making 12+ charges they are identical to Milwaukee's in style and performance except they are missing the milwaukee and M18 logo's. Don't get me wrong I'm a Milwaukee guy for life and enjoy supporting them....BUT for their logo on the battery you pay DOUBLE the price for virtually the same thing. Anyone else try these and agree's with me? https://www.amazon.com/M18-48-11-1820-48-11-185048-11-1828-GERIT-BATT/dp/B01HP9LUIO
  17. Chris I agree with you 100%! There will be unknown robot errors that could jeopardize the lives of civilians....and no doubt at all that hackers will do anything in their power to create disasters like you mentioned above. Going to be a nightmare for sure
  18. Buddy of mine swears by this thing. Seen him use it in our shop while he was fabricating a decorative aluminum wall from 6061. Comes w 10 blades and is $16 https://www.amazon.com/Noga-NG8150-Heavy-Deburr-blades/dp/B001O62V56
  19. Nice build, man. Looks sharp...I'm sure she'll be grateful
