    Too poor to list anything interesting.

    Ruffstuff really lives up to their name based upon the state of that packaging.

    There's no reason to not look for a new job, but Lyndall's right. You should stay where you're at for a while, like 12 months!

    They do all the custom intakes/exhaust/roll cages/etc in house. I'm actually friends with the lead welder(and currently only welder more than likely) but they used to have 2 until the last guy quit.

    So I sent my friend a message to see if they hiring cause its allllllll clean custom tig work.

    Custom turbo kits on ferraris, vipers, escalades, etc. Etc



    I've worked there before FWIW. So I know what is all going on inside there.

    Tig jobs usually pay $20-$25/hr in the custom auto industry.

    Plus its 5 miles from my house.

    So its just a feeler to see if I have a chance of getting in there again.

    It would be an upgrade for sure tho from where I'm at.



    On another note... This Bugatti is sooooo beautiful :drool:,

    Not a fan of that maple syrup. I'd rather have the 90.
