Alan,
You're dad would be proud that you are following YOUR dream, and that he was able to help in some way with that. Bob

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
You should have had a cool sign on the door of your truck.
Allans hack n wack. Or Allans Kustom Rodz. I agree you need to get your name out. You have the skill, the time,the tools and half the shop what else do you need .

What's the trick in flaring SS tubing? I heard it was hard to do, and found out it is. I tried double flare first then single flare. I chamferred the inside and used oil and all it did was push thru the clamp. I thought about using heat to warm in up some. Is there a discussion about this anywhere? Need some ideas. Link that I found

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Allan your truck is too nice to put a Shop Sign on it's door. Put one on your back window.

There are a couple things I wish I did, but I'm still happy.Happy NewYear everyone. It's been a rough start to the New Year for me. I won't bore you with the details. I wish I could post some progress pics. As most of you know we had a little snow/ice event here. We didn't get much, but a week later it is still here. That is very unusal for this area. It got down to 7&8 degrees a couple nights and the teens for several nights. We went 10 straight days when the high didn't get above freezing. With that and everything else that has been going on Depression set in and thought about selling the truck and saying the Hell with it. I'm slowly coming out of that fog. I just gotta keep digging.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
You have done some awesome work. Think about jumping in the truck with the wife and cruising done a country on a sunny warm afternoon. I remember living up north and feeling the winter blues. You can push through this.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hang in there dude! Awsome build. We had 20" snow with 50 mph winds over christmas. Frozen water sewer then furnace quit at house, -20 deg a few days. But been up to the 40's the past week and bunch of broken cars in shop. All my "projects" under 8ft drift. Spring is coming! We all get down this time of year. (holiday bills)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey Alan, Do not give up the ship!! I think Idaho winters are rough until I read of the Midwestern and Canadian guys threads. Theirs is much worse.
Get a SAD sunlight and do some winter light therapy while you are on the computer at night. It really does help my patience level and mood improve when my winter depression hits. With a project the size of like yours and working for a living It can easily burn a guy out. Take a little break -your not on the clock and it is supposed to be fun!! I used to laugh at my Father-in-law and his 1 year projects, 5 year projects and 10 year projects. I am understanding these things better now that I am older. Hang in there, I enjoy your thread. Bubba

I wonder if welding without your helmet on counts as uv therapy

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
It might be time for a North GA mini meet or something. Nothing is so bad that some BBQ and Beer couldn't fix.
