Update!

Well. Hey what can I say but I love my new job![cl[cl
You know after welding for 18 + yrs in production at my old job,you get set in your ways,BUT working for P.E.I. brings on a whole new way of welding![cl[cl
This has to be the BEST teaching of super quality welding I know of!
It's true you can teach an old dog new tricks!
If anything....my fabrication skills will grow in leaps and bounds![cl[cl

We are building two new suburbans for someone in Russia that are all stock with our chassis's under them,low geared quickchange transfer boxes and monster truck axles and tires!
I'll post pics asap[P[P

And these are just to get around on the paved streets! There are pix on the net of water filled potholes that will swallow a car. It is great to see someone making a living doing what they love.
Gives hope for the rest of us.

couple of pics!

Just a couple of pics of some of the stuff I welded up for our stock pile today ! [The shock boxes still need the tabs welded on but we are waiting on the laser guy to get pieces cut! the other parts are the guards that protect the disc brake on the pinion. I welded up several of each today but snapped these pics before I stocked the shelf!
I will get some pics of the Suburbans asap and give you an idea of what we are doing with them ![P
Having fun with this job![cl
