what? no! not a gemini. that poor poor car(unless its an RB)

I think its a tx or tc. Old school one with round headlights. If its any consolation its not much more than a rusted out shell. The diff and gearbox are gone and theres not a lot of the engine left. Its going to better place :dance:

mate, i dunno if i was just really lucky to land an AWESOME welder (doubt it) but MIG welding is easy as hell, i would agree if your using an ARC which is what i have at work and a momoth pain in the rectum, but migs are just a smooth easy piece of ass to work with.

much like a thai hooker or something.

When you say you landed an awesome welder are you talking about the welding machine itself or the missus? :smoking:
I've been trying with my dad's shiny new lincoln mig. I rang up a few welding shops before he bought and apparently its meant to be a good one for welding car panels.
I think it boils down to my very limited experience with all forms of welding.

I also have a very limited experience with thai hookers so I can't confirm or deny your claim.;)

well sir, i can say sir, that everyones expierence is better than mine ;)

no but seriously. welding is just burning a hole until you no longer burn holes... then your welding. it takes an hour or so to get your wire speed and amps right and then after that its all smooth sailing...

like a thai... wait! what?

well its that time again, the time we play a game called "ASK THE AUDIENCE"
today on offer we have a wonderful window gusset of a 66 impala hardtop.

who can name the colour??? DING DING DING.. times up..

no but seriously, i need to throw some paint on the arse of this car this weekend (girlfriends birthday, dunno how im going to manange it, but yeah i will somehow) and was looking at starting another vote.

i have two options so far (applications being accepted for a third) one is to have the white roof end at the base of the 'C' pillar and everything else green and the other is to have a white stripe running all the way along the base of the window...

and... GO!

as it is
