  1. Yea sorry i meant production, for instance, this past week i completed an order of 4200 stainless steel brackets ha... But things are going much better, i asked if i could take an operators manual home for our Mazak HMC's and proto trak DPM3's and that showed them that I'm interested in staying there. Ever since then theyve been showing me stuff about setting up machines and talking to me about buying my own tools. Plus Ive been asking a ton of questions haha Thanks everyone for your support!
  2. Thanks cyg, i have been trying to do my best and I've already done a few after hour projects that they were somewhat impressed with haha... one of the greatest things about the job is the source of materials i now have haha... I'm constantly buying things through the shop and they're always curious to see what I'm doing with the stuff... I guess these are all good things lol...
  3. Hello everyone, its been a while since ive posted here, and i hope this is the correct sub-forum. But i wanted to say that i finally got a job! (dont worry thats not the part you have to care about). I started working at a machine shop about 3 months ago. Problem is, its like manufacturing machining... and im basically just working in a factory with mills and lathes haha I really want to learn more about actual 'machining' and CNC and stuff. But they seem reluctant to teach me anything where i work. Are there any really good books on these things? I would really love to learn how to work with this stuff so i could, not only get somewhere in my work, but also apply it to my true passion; cars. Well im mostly just curious to see how many tool makers are on this forum and if you guys have any pointers for a 'noob' production machinist such as myself lol Thanks in advance!
  4. i think i kinda like the rear hatch thing... gives it kinda a 30's hot rod look... imo but the rims and the tail lights ruin it for me, sorry bud.
  5. ugh shoot.... Im havin some prob with my camera, so no pics..... But thanks for all the advice everyone, its really helped put some of the stress aside... lol
  6. Yea that'd be great, Ill post some pics tomorrow... Thanks again guys...
  7. I thought so too... uh oh! lol But yea m4xwellmurder, Im prolly making rust out to be worse than it really is lol. Im just overwelmed with all the repains needing done. I dont know where to even start... haha
  8. Yea i know I gotta keep going. Its sucks cuz things are rusted so bad i cant tell what its even SUPPOSED to look like. Im having a real prob with underneith the car in the rear, like inside the wheel wells and stuff. I guess Ill just make it the way i want it to look lol
  9. Im sure this has been said a million times on this forum, but I feel i need to vent for a second, so just.. dont mind me..... Rust is the devil, it has officially ruined my life... Im a mechanical guy, im in to engines n stuff, but i figured ide give this whole "body work" thing a shot, and now i want to kill my self lol... But now that Im started, Im determined to finish it. It just seems everytime i turn around theres more rust!!! lol... I have completely changed my plans for the car and really just want get into the engine, but i get bouts of depression everytime I think about all the rust haha. And i guess its really not as bad as im making it sound, Im just really not that good of a body man (this is my first attempt at any body work)... and I feel like no matter which way I go about to repair it, its not the right way, and Im being half-assed, I dont think anything short of replacing the whole rear end is really the "proper" though... ugh.... Well thanks for bein here for me guys... haha
  10. I personally really like the second photo shop. Looks functional, beautiful, and not ostentatiously gaudy lol.
  11. Im kinda affraid to say this(put my flame suit on) but I kinda like some angles of it, I think the back would require ALOT of work to make it look right, but, JMO. I think the side looks cool, and theres some features I like about the back. <------------<---Runs and ducks into cover<-------<-------
  12. Ever heard if those things parents put on their kids cars that record how often they floor it? looks like the PO parents were just pretty creative, and didnt want to spend the extra bucks to buy a normal one, lol
  13. I would have to say in my un-profesional opinion that the rust, or lack there of, has more to do with newer metals and methods for painting and treating them at the factory. Also use of, and placement of rubber or plastic covers over things.
  14. well gijonas its... its very.... its eh...what the hell is it? lol, jk, looks pretty sweet
