At least he wont have to worry about readjusting to daylight up in the gloomy PNW.

Though sunscreen should still be used in overcast weather

Woke up under the sink back at the hotel. Felt bad for the people cuz i went to puke and when i tried to flush the handle was broken. Just had to finish and call someone to fix it still full....

This was a quince with an open bar btw.

haha! Cambodian here! I know exactly what you are talking about

And Hennesy is the liquor of my people. We drink it religiously. Well, not me. I find it fucking gross.

I don't want to say anything so I don't jinx it but.. lets just say I'm hoping this current plan pans out. For now, I'm still on night shift.

It's like some of those high-end audio stuff they sell at Bay Bloor Radio these days. They look marvelous on the outside like long ago until the unit gets taken apart just to show the build is all fucking bullshit.

Those new Hyundai Genesis luxury cars have atrocious panel gaps too from what I saw at the autoshow.

They know vintage quality things are falling apart with age, and that the new things are made like crap, pick your poison or go custom.

I remember wayyyy back in the day when I was like 18 and was into car audio. I had one 10" woofer that could rattle the roof on dunkin donuts without rattling my car. People would be amazed. I didn't do anything special, just did it right. Thick gauge wiring, capacitor for stability, crisp clear tweeters inside, appropriate amperage, a quality head unit, dynomat. It wasn't rocket science just a little attention to detail. Meanwhile dudes be having 2 giant ass speakers that sound like shit cause they don't hit right, everything rattles, and their electrical system is on overload.

Interesting enough, I only remember him doing one widebody/flared car and it was done entirely out of metal and smoothed down. None of this FRP and rivets bs.

Pics?

A day position?

There might be a spot available on days for me soon since someone is leaving... Deciding if I want to take the pay cut, work the opposite end of the week... And I'm kind of the "go to" guy on my shift...

I really need to make a decision though.

Edit: nothing online with a quick search, so here's the '55 his brother built instead

Well done, high quality work but way to extreme for my tastes! Sort of falls into my "Looks sort of like XXX car but really should not be called one" category.

Yeah, the cool thing is that almost all the work that both of them do, gets done in their garage. The owners son also has an extremely nice LS Miata with a TON of custom work too, also mostly done in their garage. Feature can be found here for the miata

HOLY SHIT!
I saw that car at the Toronto show last year and I can prove it.
Clicked on the link and was browsing the pics and BANG there I am. If not me then some jerk that looks just like me stole my shirt and jacket.

People are just photographing you like Bigfoot now. I mean, your existence is a myth, so I guess it makes sense, right?
