    If you can't weld good, weld a lot, and own a good grinder!

    ....Another reason why it's a good idea to include a general area of residency in one's profile page so others nearby might lend a hand on occasion.:)

    52businesscoupe b.jpg gasser 1.jpg This should be a very cool project..... Needless to say, I am in to g***ers of any era, and have been instrumental in the construction of 2. Mine is a '53 with not a ton of work done, just enough to make it look good and run good..... Being a Ford guy, I went with a Ford 351W. It is strictly a race car, but could be street also, with a little work.... Racing is fun, and you don't have to be the fastest one there, and you never will be...... Keep up the good work !!!! 52businesscoupe b.jpg

    If you don't know Chandler, you wouldn't understand. One of the best young men I've ever met. I give him ****, but he knows me. I'm invested in this kid. He comes to my shop occasionally, helps out with everything and anything. Andy is teaching him right. He's learning, and with learning comes failure, but those are the best lessons. He worked all summer with his dad at the diesel shop, the kid makes good grades in school, he's taking auto shop, just a gentle giant. He has a big heart. I taught him the phrase "go **** yourself"... and told him it's okay to use it lol. I do consider him family, because his dad has become no less than a brother to me, for the love of God the man used his week vacation this year to come hang out with me! Yeah he's just as ****ed up as I am.

    Rumor has it that Lloyd is the kinda bad influence you want to hang out with.
     
  21. Same rules apply to you if it makes it to Lloydfest4. No shenanigans without a crowd to witness. Dont be like uncle Lloyd.
