I'm Heartbroken. Time to face reality that my Cuda is a parts car.

Ok, wow...

I have both TIG and MIG. Both are full industrial machines. I most often use the MIG, non flux core to repair sheetmetal.

TIG is for oil pick up tubes and very fine work. When I need to burn metal at a rate that pays the bills. I using the wire feed and the air to cool it off.


By the way you wanna see what rust looks like? Let me see if I can post a shot of my car... (I'm having issue uploading lately.)
Let me tell you it ain't rusty untill you can read the tire brand THROUGH the quarter panels...
And even that ain't that bad.....

Do I give a rats *** about the rust? Nope.
Do I DRIVE the dam wheels off it?
YUP!

I'm working on a customers build now. Rusty as all get out.. he cant afford for me to fix all the rust so I just put in new floor pans. And by new floor pans, I mean just flat 18 gauge. Not even re pop pans. I just blasted in flat steel. Is it concours? No. Is it way better than it was?
Yes.
Will it be covered up with floor mats?
Yes.

Will anyone ever know besides the owner and me?
No.

On the other hand, I had a customer who REALLY wanted a car. I looked it over and even tho I was gonna make a fair amount off the deal i had to tell him. "This ain't the car for you."
