Ill ask him. I know that he said it was about 300-400 dollars.
It is a neat tool. You will also need the slap hammer attachment that grabs the pull sticks.
I am going to get a MIG with gas and start trying to weld, myself.

Well, its been awhile, but with other people posting pics of their progress, it got me a little motivated.
Scored some casters to move the car around easier in the garage (thanks son)
Here is the updated pic.
I got the paint and supplies for next to nothing, all PPG BC/CC ( I think I already posted this, but just in case) and here the car is ready for the final sanding I guess about 420 then up to 600.
Antenna hole got filled
More from the back!

Since I am going with a BMW montego blue metallic, I decided to change the interior color to black. This was hard for me, since my interior is/was in great shape, but grey tweed.
I am going to run a kirkey seat with black cover, so I wont need stock front seats anyway...therefor I went ahead with the deal. Oh and arm rest delete, tho I did pick up a cherry black arm rest while hunting for black interior pieces.
Here is some of the black interior I picked up. Dusty, from laying around bondo land, but it blows off and cleans up.

I have been welding up the engine bay holes and going to finish cutting off the sway bar mounts then clean it all up with some bondo and have it sprayed to match the car.
Should be a clean deal once I get the new tubular k member flaming river rack and coil overs in along with my 5 lug conversion.
That is the hold up as I havent had the time and when I do it is hot as the desert out here. Once I finish tho it will go in for paint.
I just have the stock steering rack and suspension in it so that I dont get over spray or welding spackle on it.
Well a little progress.
Remember I dont know how to weld and am kinda learning as I go, which sux but I am hanging in there thanks to JP.

That is true! Quit cock blocking and get us some better pics of her, with a tighter pair of shorts. If her face looks cool snap one of those, if not a behind the head, hair pic will work. P.S. Dont be a kawk blocker. P.S. He is ready for a power wheel!

Thats my wife you queer.
If you want to stroke your meat to her, feel free.
Plenty of cats probably do it since she works for the california dream girls.

Sheesh calm down man!! Looks like an all american barbie. Different strokes for different folks and I wouldn't be stroking it to her she's not my type and the look doesn't do anything for me. I like em dark and built like Vida. I gotta give her props on one thing though, she said her car is a 69 maro so she got good taste in cars!

No harm, no foul. One day we will have a 69 camaro. Right now they are just priced too high.
