.....then got MRSA infection mid Feb........Dr said "cmon in, we'll irrigate the hand and then come back in 10 weeks and we can re do the surgery".....he said it with an encouraging grin......I got pretty depressed, leaving on wicked pain meds anticipating a depressing 3 month hiatus. Got the operation, now i'm 15 weeks out of the 3rd operation and just barely able to squeeze toothpaste on my toothbrush. but...I have my hand and after forging and fabricating steel my whole life, I consider myself very fortunate.

Oh Brother, that is brutal!! So sorry you were injured, that’s a tough road. Glad to hear you’re on the mend and cultivating some gratitude at still having a hand. By the looks of it, you’ve done some amazing work and I look forward to your future projects. Heal well, brush your teeth a lot.

Sorry to hear about your injury. Heal up. The cruiser will be there when you get better. It's a pretty awesome build so far.

 

[Kernal]

Glad you're on the mend.

I have nearly identical pictures of my left hand from 2 years ago.
Got lazy using an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel to cut a pipe I was holding in my left hand.
The blade bit and kicked back and sliced from the web between my ring and middle halfway down the back of my hand...
perfectly inbetween the two extensor tendons though!
I know how lucky I got.

Heal up, keep up the good work and be safe!

not good Dude.....did we learn our lesson? I HOPE you at best wear gloves, as I KNOW you've seen the pics with the guy that has half a grinder disc hanging out his cheek.....
Be well....

Thank you for the kind words.....Next up sliders, then front bumper w/12K Warn.

Eezi-awn sells a ladder extension for your ladder that's too short. They don't build trucks in South Africa as tall as we do here in the states.

should be here wednsday.

Ok....here we go on the bumper and sliders. As good as 4x4 Labs makes them, I have my own take on the front bumpers. I HATE being the same as everyone else, but there are a choice few manufacturers out there that make high quality stuff.

Just read the whole thread.
You don't mess around, all high end stuff.
DIY build is quality also.
Looking forward to see how all of it turns out.

ok, back at it again....got a little side tracked with a project that had a August 1st teardown date in order to meet January paint booth date. Im a couple days late but made it on the rotisserie and in the booth now. I have two months to finish the LX450 before the Z28 build comes back

 

[burnttoastburgos]

Cut an additional hole for audio amp air vent, used some "holy steel" and a bit of paint to make it what it aint

Thumbnails are so 1992. Keep the large images.

Are you building the Camaro for you, or for a customer?

 

[burnttoastburgos]

...no, its mine. 58k orig miles...had it, drove it for while till i decided the time was right. Tore it down, stripped it of everything, sandblasted and powder coated all hard steel ( subframe, rad support, wheel houses, hinges, all small parts and goods)....now waiting for the body to come out of the paint booth. House of Kolors Tangelo Orange Pearl. 500hp 4 bolt main, Sniper intake with a 5 speed TKX , 9" 35 spline and a Tru track, full tilt UMI suspension and Viking shocks.. she gonna rip for sure !!

little bit every day........

Alas...the long awaited day I simply just didn't want to do....this air comp mount and relay box. Took a bit of time and thought, but its tight and removable from the fabbed up base. This is the third of three relay/fuse made by Concours Specialties...…excellent quality, 6 switched relay and 6 constant, super versatile !! I've seen guys make their own, I simply don't have the patience to do it the way I expect it to be done so its worth the coin.

GOD BLESS THE MAN that made rivnuts !!
