    To make a long story short, I feel as if I have been fortunate to pursue my interest in Metal shaping and owe part of the opportunity to be able to do so to SPI. I think it was Barry who posted years ago about metal meet and sponsored their forum. This got me a little more interested and I made...

    SUN GUN

    I've been playing around with a 3m Sun Gun that I borrow from a local shop to see if it is worth the investment. I have decided that I must have one, but I still don't want to spend the $500.00 or so that it costs. The biggest thing I have found that I like about it is the fact that it really...

    Auto Rod Tech's Project Thread

    Decided to post a project thread for all of our shop projects. I tend to slack on updates to individual albums and sometimes work on little projects that I wouldn't mind posting but I feel like they don't deserve a full album. Or such items as different tools we have come up with to help us get...

    Carbon Guide Coat & Clear Coat

    There is a shop in Florida, that I have talked to a few times and follow their progress on IG and FB and I noticed on one of their posts that they use carbon guide coat between stages of sanding when wet sanding their clear coat. So I questioned this, he states that it really works to make sure...
