gary why is your new car called a wolf , also just a small oh&s issue should ric be welding in shorts. this is not the right image you want to show all the kids out there. they need to know that if you are welding you should have nylon tracksuit pants on. kids always remember safety first, look good later.
you still didnt answer the question. i always fined that while welding above your head , a hat made from folding up a sheet of newspaper is great protection for your hair.
I always find the newspaper hard to hold above your head while welding. A neat trick is to secure to your head using talcum powder mixed with petrol to form a paste.

thanks,. its a excellent choice for a name , with regards to the newspaper i find a couple of staples or nails will make it hold on to your head just fine.
nice to see jim giving you a hand ,any way it's not looking to shaby , the shed that is , the car's not to bad either.i noticed you'se have the car siting on a jig ,you must be joking ,what are you biluilding a F1 car or somthing,all you need is half a dozen beer kegs ,full then as you emtey them you you'se them as stands to hold up the frame as it gets bigger.on the subject of oh&s i find that wering footy shorts while welding helps reduce the risk ever becoming a father,as the radition frise you balls.HURRY UP WITH THE BLOODY PIPE BENDER !!! we need it.
We asked Jim to help pretty early on. He's been an inspiration! Glad u like the shed... although after stripping the rivvy we've had to store whats left around the edge of the garage... oh what I wouldnt give for a bigger, BIGGER shed!
I like the theory on welding in footy shorts - perhaps thats why rick and I both have no kids??? Nicely flamable too which helps keep you stay trim downstairs...
We'll be completely finished with the bender in the next 3 weeks - is that OK? Let me know if you need it before then.

3 weeks! bloody hell. just pulling ya leg , we're fitting up all the cabin area,which is about 90% finished. we will get some photos to you soon ,anyway the presidents shed is bigger then yours ,if only you didnt live in suberbia, we also have to thank jim for insperation and for decerating the shed walls with empty cans ( good for sound deadening ),by the sound of it you might be racing before the commodore boys ,they hope to make warialda , what did carey tell you about my accident , all of the bad stuff is probably true because it was a big hit , but not as good as yours. i might be geting an old nissan patrol to make into a class 7 or 8 maybe , look out mat .i like the new picture, it was a sad ending wasn't it .
I understand the theory of sound deadening... the property we cut our teeth on at Goulburn was deadend with jim's bottles! over 3 grands worth! ha ha! I'll get a pic over to you at some stage, its good for a laugh.
yeah - definatly want photos for the buildups page!
Heard a bit about your hit - but you didnt answer the question... true accident? or were you playing silly buggers??? :)
I'd love to see you behind the wheel of something big and heavy mate - class 7 patrol! Do it!!! Rob (commodore boy) is talking about class 7 as well... Matt's will be class 8... fun stuff... :)
and yeah - it was a sad ending... but hey - thats offroad!
