This is what we're currently thrashing around with, although my lack of confidence continues to slow me down quite a bit.
It has been a great learning experience tho and that's what this entire project is all about.
So here we are with another year drawing to a close. To see what we've been up to on our πππππ' πΈππππππ 1957 Catalina and find out what's coming up, why not join us over on our Youtube channel and see what you're missing.
Set up a metalworking bench at the shop for new throatless shear and our Perfectly Shitty English Wheel®.
More mayhem on our Trashcan Garage Youtube channel.
Nothing is certain in today's world and right now I'm just happy to have the means to keep my shop and have a place to hang out and be able to work at my leisure.
Don't turn in shitty work. Take the time to do it right. Learn from your mistakes. Take pride in what you've accomplished. If you're looking to be famous and gain the admiration of total strangers? Become a politician.
I won one of these rare prints, large and framed at an online estate auction in Lexington Kentucky about ten years ago. It was stolen before I could pick it up.
Rot in hell motherfucker, whoever you are.
My first serious project. Such as it is. Or was. A 1963 Savoy mordoor aka Mr. Stein. A one owner, in state Craigslist find. Two cars to get her to this stage. Sold her (and a buttload of parts) cheap, to someone I thought I was helping out. And.... it turns out they were just out to flip my shit and I lost my ass and a lot of self respect. Now I feel like a chump.
Cope and seethe I guess eh. π
