awesom. when are the videos going to be ready?

lukecp · 10-12-2003, 06:07 PM

Good job!!!

I was visiting your website.....where and when can i order the videos?

I would much rather buy a welder and do mine myself, then paying someone to do it....especially with bodyshop labor being $60/hr.....for the price of 8 hours of labor i could buy a welder

junkyardjohn · 10-12-2003, 06:28 PM

WOW!!!! THATS AS RUSTY AS I'VE EVER SEEN. IF YOU CAN SAVE THAT, YOU CAN SAVE ANYTHING. JOHN

EBFabman,

I checked out your website, looks great. When will these videos become available. I have a '72 C20 that is in need of much help.

Low68 · 10-12-2003, 06:33 PM

what do you use to make your panels? Do you just use a pounding bag and hammer and then an english wheel or what?

Alaska71SWB · 10-13-2003, 01:36 AM

Looking at that brings one question to mind. Is there any way to clean the leaves etc. that fall to the bottom of the inner cowl.

ddsmith · 10-13-2003, 04:07 AM

Gee Emm,
Says flush them out once a year with a hose. He'll probably explain when he shows up.

Joe67 · 10-13-2003, 08:56 AM
