    I know natidog (Luke) is going to have to open his up as well. You guys don't need garage space alone, you also need a willing oven owner.

    I'm still thinking of putting off doing a brake job up front and getting in on the group buy lol. I would hope I'd get them in time for thanksgiving because I'd have time to have my lights out for a day or two. Ben, does it stink up the house much when you put them in the oven?

    I'll be doing mine hopefully over Xmas break from college.
    Luke and I are going to fix his in 2 weeks, and if you do the oven temp and time correct, it doesn't smell at all.

    what temp and how long do you put them in for? I've heard 275 and then turn it off and put them in for like 7 minutes or something. I read that in someones build a while back so I can't quite remember.

    I'd have to check. But 7 minutes was about what did mine at. Don't borrow someone's motorcycle gloves to take them apart. They got a thing about that. :spy:

    They only got a thing about that if you tear a seam out of carbon fiber reinforced gloves lol. And yes, I'll be painting my face white with a thick black border while I do MIME retrofits.

    It's a good way to not actually do any work and still look very busy.

    To anyone who's interested. I have changed out the LED's on the gauge clusters and steering wheels on a couple of 2nd gens (Ben's and Mine) and am willing to offer my soldering skills to some others. I'm a student right now, but I'll have about a month over winter break where I could knock these out.
    If you're interested let me know asap, so we can discuss colors etc, get your LED's ordered, and make sure everything is gtg for mid Dec.

    *I did the entire head unit of my truck, looks awesome but sorry guys it's a pita and I don't want to do anymore of those.

    For you guys asking about my bike rack, here is my write up over on TN. Complete with the dimensions I used :D

    Ben asked if I weld last night. I do a little. I only know mig welding methods and am by no means an expert at it. I am pretty good at getting two pieces of steel to stick together though. I am trying to decide if I want to fab my own sliders or just buy some. The big factor there is my lack of welder to actually do anything with. In the next few years I plan to get a garage and put a welder in it though. When that happens I will be happy to share... for a beer or two :D

    Some of my welding work... because who doesn't like showing off?

    School project I did.

    IMG_5700_fa84a3e4be12676530b384f12476ef2dd74f5c65.jpg
    When the competition was over, I turned my school project into a bedframe

    I also have an unfortunate habit of making coffee tables.

    IMG_5702_4c7e4c2fc52a2215eb56581e2e8f76fae20afd6c.jpg
    I have made 4 to date. This is one of the more interesting ones.

    Looks good Anna just keep at it and before long you will be building anything you want, and maybe us stuff also :) I would love to do projects as well as I did welding for 5 years but like you I have no garage with a welder so that counts that out.

    I really want to turn my furniture making (and maybe truck fabbing) into a part time business someday. But first things first. I need a garage :)
