But the correct side doesn't look impressive for the cameras

 

I haven’t forgotten about my lightbar control system I’m just spending money on the Nissan right now haha

 

You can pry my lead solder from my cold, dead, lead poisoned hands

 

They call it mechatronics now but yes it's essentially industrial automation

 

Was this a college degree or a trade school degree?

 

With all the Z pics, that's what I figured. I was all fuckered up that night when I said I'd draw up the wiring diagram for you and the missus was reading over my shoulder.... she said I had weird friends

 

I'm guilty of that too. My roommate called me out for "doing too much shit for other people" when I have so many unfinished projects of my own

 

The only thing lead free solder is good for is sweating copper pipes

 

We prefer the term "technical college"

 

My SO says that to me everytime I bring up helping someone else

 

You’re too kind. I’m also waiting for my Titan II ICBM guy to send me the control box they used to move the work platforms inside the missile silo with. I’m thinking that would make a cooler lightbar controller than a boring electrical enclosure.

 

I did brakes and plugs/wires for a mutual friend the other week on his Volvo. I felt bad charging him because he was a poor college kid like most of us, so I did it pro Bono. Plus a lil lunch.

 

Shit yea, that'll be a way cooler box!

 

One of those. It’s sitting in a scrapyard in Arkansas.

 

Years ago when I ran my own handyman service outta my van. I used to charge people a hot meal and a drink for diagnostic work.


99.9% of my work came from drunks sitting at the bar complaining about their vehicles being broken

 

Would you keep the patina?

 

@Kwikvette

 

Genius. I always thought an old retired ambulance would make a great mobile workshop. Already has a strong power inverter and plenty of cabinets. I’ve seen mobile bike repairs use them before.

 

Absolutely. You fix it up and it looks like any old boring control panel.

 

I always wanted an retired ambulance for that exact reason but could never find one in a good price range that wasn't absolutely thrashed inside
