Well boarding my flight for California shortly. I will post pictures if owner approved. First job is 4 flares, inner long kit, and some minor rust repair.

The spring trip may include a welding class for interested folks for a small fee. Think Dr evil’s clinics

I would be up for a So Cal welding class. I have a mig welder we could use.

San Diego here and I would be very interested in getting a set of flares installed next year. Let's talk once the holidays are over and we can see if we can work something out.

If you come down for that one, I'm pretty close to there, would love to have you do a smaller job -- I have steel rockers and your rocker flared ends, would love to get those knocked out. I hate my FG ones, they look awful. I'm about 25minutes from him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I will be making a second trip this spring and will be in riverside area. I am looking to add one car to make it pencil out. I need to figure out dates with Bruce for his job and as I said add one more job

Finishing the last job in California over the next few days. It been a huge learning experience, met great people, time though to re evaluate. Costs have gotten to high to travel at current prices. Thanks for all the support through this. No time for me to figure out to make this work in the future. Seems shipping the cars to me would make more sense

Having witnessed the "Ben's Travelling Flare Show" first hand, I think it makes sense to have the cars transported to him. There are lots of moving parts and if any of them don't move exactly as planned (like two right rear flares!)... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

That said, Ben and I talked and I volunteered The Red Barn to be his NorCal/West Coast base. So Ben, if you ever want it: my shop is your shop.
