    Another one finished

    We finished this frame for a guy in OK a couple of weeks ago. He's coming here today to pick it up. This is C4 project #84, late C4 front and rear, 2" front drop (3" is standard for us), LS1 and 6L80. He wanted it sandblasted so I had that done too. Got a bunch more work to do and hopefully I can get back on MY car.

    you said 'We' finished it... Do you have hired help in your shop to help do those chassis?

    If I may ask, are you addressing me or some other fictitious character, imagined or otherwise?

    Go F* yourself markm....or USA1, whichever it is today. LOL! Why can't you show us even ONE teeny tiny little project that you've ever done? All you do is criticize and attack. So I attack back you prick.

    Maybe you ought to learn to just keep your mouth shut and don't reply to me, or say anything about me. But you don't seem like a very fast learner.

    I started out doing these frames by myself, but shortly afterward my son started helping me with them. He's a good TIG welder and learned to weld on the job doing heating and ventilation work. I really couldn't do these builds by myself.

    My son has a full-time job as a lineman for the city's electric department. He helps me usually one night a week and one weekend day morning. This is a very part-time job for both of us, and we have fun building things together. The money helps with vacations and "toys" too. We pretty much have this down to a science now, especially since I started having the parts CNC laser cut. For a while there we built all of our own brackets and it was a ton of work. He has his "jobs" and I have mine, and we work well together. He's a partner in the LLC.

    Dan just left with his frame to head back to Oklahoma. He is pleased with how it turned out.

    In your opinion would there be a difference in precision or cost enough so that a water jet could be used to cut your steel brackets over laser?

    Laser is Far Cheaper , Holds Better Tolerance.

    Laser Can cut up to 1-1/2" A 36. We cut our port Flanges of the valves we make with Laser Cut Holes & all we have to do is Tap them and they are done saves us lots of $$$$$$$
