We've got so much shit it would be nice to get rid of some of it, but ultimatly it's up to Mike casue technically most of it is all his. I mean I really don't want to sound like the nagging wife about this stuff, but omg, look at that list. Do we really need that much stuff? You can only drive one car at a time. I told him if he didn't start working on things I was going to start selling it, and he said he'd sell me.

If your truely interested shoot me a pm and I'll talk to him about it when he gets home from Arizona where he is picking up yet another car. *sigh* (this one is a Porsche 911) I can't make any promises though.

i am.

i started on 24 gauge cold roll steel and have been cutting and pasting old vw scrap metal for the past couple of days. i've gone through one full tank allready. i fabbed a cart for machine and bottle out of angle iron.

i have the gas cfm and wire speed and voltage dialed in just right. it took some time, but the combo i have works well.

i'm very happy with the machine i bought, and have absolutely no regrets.

Yeah, what she said. All except the bike. It's a '78 Yamaha XS400, flat black and chrome (just how I like 'em!) and it did run when we first met. If anyone is looking for a summer cruiser/rat bike I'll let it go cheap. Needs electrical work to run but I don't know what exactly. FYI 400cc = cheap insurance :rockon:
