Looking at the graphic at the top of the Steel Valley Supernats page I see our "Rat Fink" of yesterday has been replaced by some alien looking creature!!

Yes it does. Kinda makes you feel good when you see 300 cars sitting in a lot and you can pick out all the parts you made and welding you did on some of the cars over the last 30 years. Just finished up a driveshaft for a '65 Ford F-100 with a 429 and dual turbos. I saw the kid cruising town about an hour after it left my shop...Bob

Just some stuff i've done recently. I am now known as the "dude to call" for welding jazz that needs to be done at the shop where my dad works!
The pull up bar is for my brother, shelves are for my other brother's tool room where he works, and the cart is for my Red box!

Not a lot of "welding" in these, but they are cool and made of metal!

Yeah there is a kind of feeling seeing something you built or built parts for rolling down the road, dragstrip or at the local cruise in. Speaking of cruise in's do they still have them anymore. I remember the Apples/Arby's parking lot in North Canton had a weekly cruise in, and we used to have one at the old drive in burger joint in Ravenna till 05. Seems like "bike night" is the "in" thing now and I do enjoy those as well but never have any time to go anymore nor a riding partner.

Anyway keep up with the drive shafts there aren't many guys who do them anymore. If I had the equipment I'd do them but no way to balance them. By the way how's retirement treating you??

Put this tongue on the rear half of a Moxy 25 ton dump truck for a friend of mine. Took a couple of days messing with it.

Here is a boat dock I have been working on. The dock is 32'x34' with 180' walkway. Almost finished, just needs the gate and minor touch ups..Travis

Looks great! Hope you get to enjoy it.

It'd be a nice place to just sit out on a folding chair and watch the sun come up or go down before heading out in the boat or after coming in for the evening.
