This has nothing to do with Ben and his work. I have used his services several times and it is always most excellent.

When is a 914 a good candidate for flares? Years, mods, condition, pluses and minuses???

Ben, if you do a west coast TIG-Tour, I hope that you sell t shirts with each location printed on the back. I want a burgundy hoodie with the gold ink.

For the west coast guys, I'm in northern Santa Barbara county and have a shop on my property that could accommodate this work. I spoke with Ben and can arrange for flights. If anyone has TIG equipment available to use, that would be helpful as I don't have that equipment at present. We could also arrange to have some work done at my place and some work done at a suitable location in the LA basin.

I'll let Ben decide on the most suitable dates, but I think he said late December or early January would work best for him.

Yes, actually in the Santa Maria valley, but not in the city itself.

Any year is as good as the next. The least rust and accident damage possible.
