  I hope I can make it,


  Now that my main project is just about over, I now have to start on a promised project for my wife, for the pool

                     

Really, a wood burning pool heater to extend the swimming season....how do I get into these things.
  At least it will test my welding skills  888
  Got all the metal ordered at the cheap metal place Jack told me about - THanks!











            My main project started as this....................got the rusty one in the back


                             








  Then made it into .........................


                 


Rat rod side car..... I should be welding it to Jacks' rat rod late some night this week.

  Figure I can get into the shows at   at least half price! did it - cause I am sooooo cheap.






                                  next project.......................



                                  for a side car, will model it after this.............



                               



                   

I wish!



  Still if my wife will let me put off the wood burning project a bit, I will be able to make it!

  Hey That's kind of one of those Oxy-moron-thing-a-ma-gigs isn't it? Most of us think wood stoves and we think winter, not swimming. Cool idea does it also double as a BBQ Grill? Maybe wifey has somethig up her sleave for winter. A sunna maybe? Now that side car I'm really digging. Wish I never sold mine. :wallbash:

Hope you can attend. Jay

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

<---- is actually going to make his car dirty for the show... if that's even possible. I'm going to rub some oil or get the tires wet and go to town on a dirt road by my house. I know there are cars that are in even more beater shape but it's worth a shot.  ;D

I now have a cigarette lighter to power my GPS and Pump up Yucells tires. Please tell me that you bought a new set.
