so i got a call last from Mr. Gusset, siad his boss was needing some fender skirts made for a 2013 suburban. i didnt quite understand why or what he was really needing. so he hired me to leave the shop for a few days and come work at his shop. when i got there i was blown away. the shop is Patrick engineering inc. the owner and operator of the Samson monster truck. the suburbans he was talking about are monster trucks in the making lol. so i made some wheel well skirts to make the wheel opening match the wheels . i dont have any pics of them finished yet, since my part is finished, but will post pics of them after paint. hope this thread doesnt get deleted like it did on killbillet lol

Cool stuff Mike..........glad I got to see it before it gets deleted. :rolleyes:

How can anything dealing with metal shaping not be conducive to a car forum [S Especially when it's of your caliber!
 
Nice work. I hope this doesnt get deleted, at least til I get home to show my son. He digs the monster trucks.
 
very nice work as always, looks like they will be fun when done!
 
MAN in MOTION!

Hey Mike, here is the Motion Picture I took of you! LOL
Thanks for coming to the shop this week!:D
The guys and myself enjoyed having you there and they were impressed with your work as well![cl
