Atlanta: The "Not so grand" opening.

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Stevie G, Dec 3, 2005.

  1. Swamp Fox Customs has become a reality.
    We finally have a real shop space (As opposed to the garage next to the house) and our name in the yellow pages.
    Next Saturday we are getting the new space organized and any Hambers in the area are invited to stop by...eat some brats (And probably pizza) and help figure out where everything goes.
    Will also make any shop equipment available for the day.
    That's Mig, Tig, Stick, Plasma and Oxy/Acetylene.
    Sheet metal break / Roller.
    Bead Roller, Tubing/Pipe bender.

    Actually, would like to set up one Saturday a month to open the shop to you guys. Make the equipment available and give you a place to congregate and grab a Brat/Burger or whatever
     
  2. That sounds like a helluva deal to me. I only wish there were more people like that. Hamber's in your area are definitely lucky to have you there. Good Luck!

    I could use some help with flaring SS 3/16". I'll look you up.
     
  7. We are at 4090 King Drive in Douglasville, GA
    it's also listed as 4090 Fairburn Rd.
    Just take Fulton Industrial south from I-20 and take a right on GA-166 (Firburn/Cambelton road). We are the third building on the right after you cross the Chattahootchie and enter Douglas County.
    Big white building with a red roof and a 57 Chevy painted on the wall.
    Give us a call at 678-838-7074

    Stelathcruiser, thanks for the offer. I've got the fittings. Just have to permanently mount the pedals. I got a 37* but it didn't even go below 1/4". With winter coming I'll get some slack in the next month. Just something I don't want to chance as I took a couple runs at some 3/8" SS fuel line flares on another car.

    What time are you guys hanging out until? Even though I am from Wisconsin, I don't like to eat a brat until like, ohhhhhh 10 AM. :D I'm shakin' down the 31 coupe as of late, so I may make a trip out there. Prolly go out the back way. It'd be nice to meet some more HAMBers. Havre a good time either way.

    Chad

    Everyone will probably be home for dinner....unless we are having a REAL good time.
