I tell ya guys, it's awesome living next door to a retired fabricator/welder guy.

Send him my way but with his plasma cutter!!! What you need as a project now, with neighbor's help, IS an old 30'-50's Mopar hotrod!!!!!!!
Not a plasma, plain old oxy/acetylene. Funny you should say that about the older Mopars.. really looking at a '55 Plymouth right now. Get away from the '67 to '73 year cars and it's much cheaper. That said, you're not getting me to part with my Cuda. :)
