ACID FLASHBACK TANK!

Shit!!!!!

This tank was so cool I was distracted and unable to post it last time...so here it is....

steve's pipes...which Benny & Zippy made

Steve Stocker brought his lovely little triumph in the shop today to sort out his pipes. They're gonna look really cool when done. His tank looks great as it is but he insists on painting it. Looks like an acid flashback at the moment which would suit me fine!

I electrocuted myself whilst everyone watched and laughed heartily! Twats!

Spindle made the Tea and bought Jaffa cakes and I took more pics...what else can I do?

NOT ONE PAYING CUSTOMER IN THE SHOP TODAY!

Neil came in and made lots of sparks!

The view out of the door...

Andy from American V magazine came in too and checked out Guy's Pan...

...and of course Uncle Dave...

Trawler ..."You Janner!"

Popped into the shop today to take pics and say Hi to Trawler. Check out his blog here

He came all the way from Plymouth to work on his Shovel which is coming along nicely. Apart from a switch which had been powder-coated he was a happy man.

MY SEAT

The Shovel seat. Handtooled leather by Deb...Can't wait to sit on it.

Zippy in the Shop

Zippy helps Benny out a lot so here are a few pics of him doing his "stuff"...Where did Flakey come from?

Saturday in the shop...

What a day man! Things that were supposed to happen didn't today and it seemed like everything was...well...a bit shit. But thanks to Benny, Zippy, Spindle and Dave the day ended on a high.

This is what chopper building is all about. Your buddies helping you out when you needed it.

Thanks Men!

Now look at my pics...

TIG WELDING MASTERCLASS

...and a random picture of Flakey's latest tank art!

Steve Stockers from Swindon came up to the shop today to learn the magical art of TIG welding under the tutelage of Chopper Guru Benny Thomas! By the time I left the shop Benny had transferred his amazing skills to the young acolyte and before long Steve was welding exhaust pipes together and making tea with real flair.

"Steve... it is now time for you to leave the temple"
