It's not really an automotive fab., but it consist of some automotive parts. It's a resistance workout sled that I built with the help of my former boss @ his shop. It helped me a ton in preparation for several fire department's physical agility test and to maintain overall fitness. Plus, it's fun to use:

Here are a couple of trucks that I built a couple years ago.

Fawking clean

Not undercut, perfectly spaced filler, good throat for the material. Solid stuff, I'm jealous.

well i havent got pics of some of the really cool car stuff i've built because it was for work. but i have a few pics of some crap i built.

i've built a many of those sub frames and control arms. pretty much every thing you see thats not a motor in this pic i built. even welded the titanium exhaust. no close up pics though. this place i worked for was crazy about pictures. you couldnt take them.

WOW! Thanks Kyle that means alot coming from you!

I wished I had more time behind a bender where I could be as profecient as yourself.No benders where I am currently working now. I just don't have the equipment at home to do much of anything. I think I am going to start to built some adjustable LCA's and UCA's for my XJ though. And then maybe some bumpers, just not sure on what to build. I want to do round tube prerunner style, but just might end up doing some easy square tube who knows.

Subscribed... I took welding in Highschool, now that I'm out of college I'm saving up for a welder and really want to start fabbing up some stuff. All my friends talk about what they want to do with it once I get a welder too... haha, not sure why I have to go through the expense for their fun, but I'm sure I'll use it plenty

Charge them if you are good enough

i noticed that tig welds look smaller then mig welds is it the picture or it just gets hotter and filler not needed as much

Most cases depending on the joint you can just melt the two metals together with little to no filler.

Well I used to be okay, but I'm sure I'm very rusty since it's been like 6 or so years. Maybe once I practice a little I'll charge them. Either that or I'll practice on their stuff, and then do mine, haha
