Yeah I think those of us that have been married a while know about that. Also when they go through a cleaning frenzy your stuff will end up in the trash and all you will hear is "I didn't know you needed that" while you're outside looking through the trash.lol

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Really nice idea.

Hello guys and nice to meet you. I own a 55 Chevy 210 and I'm currently working on a 58 Chevy truck with a 55 front clip.

I'm from Inglewood, CA and into classic cars and metal fab. My garage ***** but I have lots of tools and no room. I guess you can never have enough room. Anyway I see a lot of people from other cars forums I belong to so I thought I'd join up and start posting.

If you are ever near Gardena, Hawthorne, or Inglewood. You can go to MK metals on Van Ness south of Rosecrans. They always have a nice selection in the scrap bins. Heres a link for you http://www.mkmetal.net/

MP&C, Have I told you I'm a fan of your work? If not now you know.lol You do great work buddy.

Nice work. I have the same mig welder as you. You will like that Hobart welder, I've had mine for 5 years now and never had an issue.
