Hello my fellow enthusiasts! Sadly there has been negative locost progress since i last posted and for the most part i've been far to busy to make any progress but i'm sure all of you know how that goes. But since i haven't had had much luck on the car I wanted to share with you the joys that i have been able to enjoy.
Latest acquisitions:
One 6 month old malamute. With extra slobber!

Next door neighbor is a general contractor and broke his uber expensive dewalt miter saw. So he gave it to me because he wanted the excuse to buy the uber uber expensive makita saw. $8 and it was fixed. It's a beast weighing in at 60lbs

Work was throwing this beauty away so i stuffed it in my wagon. Needs some TLC and mods but will make for saw. But man was it ever rigged. I'll post pic's of the refurb as I can.

Finally my aluminum mig welding skills at work. Note. If your machine comes with mig wire in the spool gun for aluminum throw it out. Its trash. Go to the depot or lowes or whomever and get a spool of 4043 from lincoln. Welds like butter!
