Default Introduction

Hey! Like the site. I am an old guy who is learning to build a Hot Rod at 66.
I am getting equipment and parts together as well as garnering knowledge from you young talented people. I have a 1996 goldwing and bushtek trailer that I rebuilt. My wife of 30 yrs and I went on a 3000 mile tour camping and cooking our own food. I worked for Hughes Aircraft for 17 years. Started my own business and became a consultant for the state of Oregon. My last business was training corporations electronic manufacturing techniques. I am starting a powder coating business to fund my hot rod build.
Tools- Century 160 mig welder (200 amp). Oxy-Acetylene torch. 30 inch brake, pnematic flanger. grinders. body tools.sandblast cabinet.Ingersol Rand T30 compressor. ect. Learning about other metal working tools I may need for fabricating floors,inner fenders, chopping the top, and adding a triagulated 4-link suspesion.

Hello Bert:

Looks like in 10 - 15 years you can retire.

Welcome to the site.

Default Pneumatic Flanger (flange tool)

Used instead of butt welding. It creates the flange and then can punch holes for welding, cleekos, or rivets.
