McMark
The shop is overflowing with paying projects and Andy's doing the work of four people until he can hire three more programmers at work. I hate to see it sit, but real work comes first. sad.gif

That sucks but priorities get in the way sometimes. Hope you guys get back to it though.

No time to breathe right now. dry.gif

You'd think in the current economy it would be easy to hire 3 people for good paying full time jobs but that's not the case.

...sounds like you need 3 account-able, 32 hrs per week interns.

No one at the local Tech School or College needs a guaranteed A for their final semester?

I was at the shop last week. It didn't look ready.

Hey Mark, GA motor headed your way soon. I need a motor for the Teener to get my mind off NOT getting the bus! It was drama on top of drama! Cut my losses.

Great Project fellas! With a 16 page thread I expected to see it moving on its own by now! It's pretty awesome, though. I wish I were out there so I could help in some way.

Just remember that the delorean limo took 300 years to build and they just bought it back from the future to show off

This gives you a rough idea of the dimensions although we'll be cutting off another 1 1/2 feet or so.

Basically, the front door jamb of the red car will be right at the firewall of the white car.

Hey Andy, project is looking good. I was looking into building frame rollers out of wood also, and was wondering if you had plans from when you built yours?. beerchug.gif

Bumping this up to the top. Any progress as of late? Need anything (besides time)? beerchug.gif

I need sixnotfour and rick-918s and scotty_b (etc) to all converge on Sonoma and we'll have a big welding party.

Or just find me 2 or 3 good employees and I'll have time to finish it myself. smash.gif

On my list for later this year. I'll bring tools. sawzall-smiley.gif welder.gif

I can't go anywhere until the 280 SL I have here is gone. welder.gif I'm fitting the front sheet metal. Then I need to build a special trailer the will hold the shell by the four jack points. Then it leaves to go get e-coated.

This could be like the Rod & Custom Dream Truck. Several shops combined talent and all did part of the work to complete it. Well, except for the part where it got wrecked on it's way to a show...

Story of the repairmen's life. Roofer with a leaking roof, plumber with a toilet that won't flush, ect.....

Growing a business to the point where your managing it rather than owning a job is so difficult. Finding employees who work as if they are working for themselves and who have the skills to do the work properly is the challenge. It takes time to train youngsters and you loose them along the way. I sent several kids to school to do CAD and CNC and then lost them to aerospace manufacturers.
McMark
Maybe we can look at an October build party. We should be able to get most everything done in a couple days with enough people here.

I wonder if we have members with airline miles or hotel discounts that could make it easy for our Welding Crew to get here. idea.gif
r_towle
Everyone that visits your shop and bugs you while you are trying to work should be required to weld 6 inches of the seam.

Either you get them to do it, or you get more time to work...then you can do it.
Mike Bellis
I'll bring my MIG to the build party. I just need power. Pretty sure I could rig something... idea.gif

I'm in. Why wait until October? cheer.gif
