Car Chasing ?

Chasing Classic Cars - Velocity with Wayne Carini is a good car show to watch.

But let's face it >> some rich guy calls him and says that he has a Ferrari for sale. Wayne drives to the seller's home. The Ferrari is in an air conditioned garage with a black and white checker board floor. It looks like someone's living room with plush furniture and a big screen TV.

After the sale they go to a restaurant and have champagne and $100 steak dinners.

When I go out chasing for classic cars it's in my beat up 92 Ford F150 with no a/c. I drive around Southern Arizona in 117 degrees; fend off rattlesnakes, scorpions, Gila monsters and irate gun totting home owners who question my presence on their property until I explain why I am there. I just wanted to check out their old classic car sitting in their yard. I'm lucky to find a hot dog stand and a warm cola. 

There is chasing cars and then there is CHASING cars.

I like Wayne's show, but I don't think he would last two days out here in the desert.

Keep them rolling!

Welding

Welding plays such a big part in car building. Some cars that I check out have quality workmanship and great welds, and some have poor workmanship and terrible welds.

Poor welding endangers the owner and other cars driving on the road.

You need to purchase good welding equipment, such as a +Lincoln or +Miller - snap on. Please stay away from these discount warehouse welders. Take a course at a Community college or find a certified welder to teach you at least the basics.

I've been welding for 60 years and have held over 55 welding certificates. 

Please take the time to do things the right way! It will pay off in the end.

Be safe out there! 

Keep them rolling!
