    spot welds don't stand a chance.

    For many years I've struggled along with a cordless drill and the best drill bit I can find. Blair bits have led the pack for quite a while, but pair the Blair bit with the Blair "enforcer" drill... Wow, I truly love this tool. Its like having a drill press that you can bring to the car. The...

    portable spot welders.

    I've started researching portable spot welders for some of these external pinch welds like rocker bottoms, quarter to wheel house, quarter bottom to trunk extension etc. Does anybody use one in their shop? Any tips on good/bad? brands or features to look for or stay away from? Thanks.

    Fellow project guys, would you do this full time?

    If you thought you could pay the bills, would you build cars full time? Quit your "day job", and build cars full time? I'm riding the fence.... I've been close to pulling the trigger several times over the past 15 years. I'm close again.
