NW WA Meet / BS Thread

@JimSnell

Went up to the shop before work and finished all the main tubes.

 

Kickass. Looks good.

 

no, now I might be buying a new car in a matter of days so were doing a lot of driving/searching and this is pretty much my #1 priority since it was unexpected and out of the blue.

EDIT: NOT selling the truck haha, this is all for my wifes vehicle

 

Highlander... especially if all of a sudden expecting kids.

 

Don't feel to bad, I just got quoted $200 and 3 hours of labor from a shop today. Just laughed it off.

 

For what kind of work? It irritates me to pay for work I know I can do. I just need a mandrel bender and a flaring tool.... one day.......

 

After all that...

 

for the re-route.

 

I'd go to Oreilys and grab an assortment of tubing and go to town, either that or pick up a cheap expander.

 

Someone buy my god damn roof rack

Nice. Not sure if my vehicle is quite capable for the entire trail the more I looked into Elbe Hills. What time were you thinking Saturday?

 

ouch!

 

Anyone know a good place for powder coating in the Seattle area?

 

@JimSnell has a place he's going to go with when I finish his sliders

 

@Joewaka

Rainier powdercoating, a few of us are looking at doing a group thing in a few weeks. I haven't actually used them before, just have a buddy who got his sliders done there. I spotted him over a rock the other day and got zero scratches. We were rough on the sliders too. Looks like a good shop.

 

Sounds good. Just ordered some sliders. Should have them by then. Let me know. Thanks!

 

Will do.

 

Thermotech in Monroe did my rack and @GSPRunner's sliders. Nate @ NR Fab uses them for all of his projects and raves about them.

 

Carl Landdeck of Carl's powder coating in North Bend. 425-864-7950 I've known him for years. He's an old local wheeling buddy. He can do most everything as long as it fits in his oven/bake room whatever it's called. He did a gold powder coated stripper pole that was 20' long/tall for my boss when he has party's and the ladies like to let their wildside out. All in good fun. He may not recognize my name off hand, it's been a few years since I've kept in touch with him. Tell him Bob (that's me) or my other buddy Scott sent you.

There's also "powder vision" in Preston just off I90 in the industrial warehouse area. I have no experience with them nor have I heard of POS/NEG reviews.

 

Yeah, just North of Everett Mall Way
