What I have done for lots of years is build and restore unique projects
that are usually deemed impossible or close to it. Because of the nature
of these projects, I have gathered up a huge inventory of tools. Just
moved to Colorado, bought a place on top of a mountain, and am going to
sit here and build fun stuff. Been training race horses for a career my
whole life. Got tired of being on the two coasts and found me a place
in the middle.
If anyone needs any references some of the projects I've been involved
in are:
- Built a Mustang II
- Built a 19 foot SK boat that held the world record for several
years.
- Rebuilt Horace Dodge's (Dodge Motor Co) 1929 41' Gold Cup Boat.
It was powered with a Curtiss Wright Tornado V-12 Aircraft Engine.
It was the Grand Champion boat at the big show at Tahoe.
- Restored a '63 Split window Corvette that was the high point car
at Busch Gardens
- Rebuilt a Smith Sidewinder
- Have a Mustang I nearly completed.
If anyone needs any sort of custom fabrication, that's what Hatconversions
is, Haulin Ass Toys. I usually charge $25 an hour for me and my tools
plus materials. I am also looking for a Bd4 kit. If some of the guys want
to get together, I'll build 5 or 10 sets of something and maybe some of
the other guys can do the same. We all know that something you think is
going to take an hour to build, usually takes longer, especially in welding
projects. The set up is the time consuming part. |
