T, MY PREDICTION.... AN EXTREMELY COLD WINDY B!TCH THIS YEAR!

Shop heater stays at 55F on a normal basis.. AND I frequently open the doors to COOL IT OFF and let the SMOKE OUT! Gotta remember 30F is shorts and T-shirt weather for me here.. OH and add a hooded sweatshirt if I have to stay out more than an hour or two.

And snowy!
 
I'll do the best I can guys, I promise.. My main problem is that once I get in a groove... I look up and 5 hours has past and it feels like 15 minutes. It will be easier this go around as I will be using my buddies lift and for the first time EVER, I won't be doing everything from my back on a concrete or dirt floor..

May slow me down being new territory and all.

A lift! In dreamland for most of us. It will afford you time to stop and smell the roses. Every job at a quarter of the time. Time to take pictures for all us cruiser heads!

I feel the same way...about 75 degrees, but shorts are out. I can't remember the last day I didn't pick up a MIG torch at least once unless I was
away from the shop....which is about ten days a year if I'm lucky. Bright white legs and welding flare just don't mix well unless you like looking like freshly cooked lobster.
I had a friend who bought a new 250 mig. He was so excited to get it he spent three hours welding up a new weld table....in shorts and sandals
wearing welding goggles ( no helmet). Can you say "red racoon"

AND some fancy foot work too....
 
I thought that welding in flip-flops and shorts was a prerequisite to be considered a "real" welder? Did I miss a memo or something? I have to foot scars to prove it!!!
 
I don't know what y'all are talking about, I've never done those things :lol:

Jason, Can you tell me the part # of the euro mirrors that you have in boxes ready for your next build??
Are those euro mirrors really Aussie mirrors? Thanks John

John, Aussie is a MIS-NAMING.. @maat & @TLC Norway I think straightened everyone out on the fact they are Euro not Aussie.

I don't have a part number (old box from my 70 mirrors) PM @Akella for the digits and order info.
