Stop in for a cup of coffee

[Princess Valiant]

Yeah, but I’m a Saint, an SOB, and butt *** ugly...so no matter who they are talking about...it’s still always me.

Pride is where you find it!

I remember when you joined fabo and the coffee crew.

The coffee house sure has changed a lot. I never go far because there is always something going on.

Your images are enough to keep anyone coming back to be mesmerized.

I love the Klassics, but on some rides they don't seem to work. I want a set on an A100 van..

On a hot rod yes but not so much on a car that is supposed to be a personal luxury car suited for an executive who wants to join the muscle allure

 

[Ddaddy]

I don't like the wheels but the red accent in the trim on black looks great

The red accent looks even better on a white car...

 

[71GSSDemon]

Although not great on all cars, I mostly prefer the big 'n little Klassics like this

This afternoon i was working on my shrinker/stretcher stand and foot pedals. King of cobble....

Dunno TJ. That's pretty fine craftsman type stuff there.
Kindof the direct opposite of dent puller and lots of filler - you know fiberglass, gorilla hair, old newspapers, playdoe stolen from the kids...

 

[Mattax]

Would you believe I'm back on-line now to see if anyone sells "two-person" saws?

 

[zkx14]

I’m hoping it’s me!

I would like to thank all of Canada for Missy Peregrym.

Anything. Copy editor asked if I wanted to change every place I wrote "two-man saw" to "two-person saw."
So to be safe I wanted to do a quick check. Just what I thought. Nobody calls 'em that, even now.

Just tryin to muddle my way through the mess the other guy left for me. Its not perfect, but a damn sight better. Pluggin the holes.

Couldnt get the shape i was after, pounded it flat, checked against template and tried again. Much closer 2nd time around. Even the cheap shrinker works.

You're getting there!
A bit of science and a bit of art.
Not easy - at least to start.
You wont catch me doing sheet metal work on something I care about how it looks!

I just want it to hold paint for more than a month. As im (re) working on right wheel opening i see rocker has filler with bubbles..so off it comes too.

 

[Mattax]

There's lots of places to get 'em new and old.
What I call a bucksaw is usually a framed saw - A firewood saw like a bow saw but with a tension rod or cord.

The Crosscut Saw Company carries a pretty good variety. Especially for trail work, green wood, and competition.
For what I was doing, we needed plain tooth saws. A little harder to find but the Garlic Bros in UK makes them, and so does a German company.
A lot of the usual suspects have been offering them the past few years: Lehman, Woodcraft, Highland Woodworking etc

Sounds good. The aluminized body filler seems to work well in limiting the moisture. Costs more, and harder to get nice finish with it, but I can accept that!

Evercoat metal 2 metal is the one I've used.

Yup! Lynx is Garlic Bros. One bought the other out or they merged about 20 years ago.
We ordered ours direct and covered shipping so we got it a really good deal on 5'
