shout out to the guy that says i use camera tricks

Let me know when you are free sir.

Ha no problem.its defiantly something you’d love. Good luck on the mig machine.

Of course. I don’t stop. Pm me with details we can discuss

Well in that case should I collect on all the cars you tuned using MY tuning supplies because that was our agreement. You seem to forget that people help you and that everyone doesn’t owe you shit. You had my shit for years and when I tried to get MY tuning supplies to use for my car you would give me shit for it. And when I finally did take it back I had to hunt you down, have you not return calls or texts, and then not even be at your shop where you said you were to pick it up. So please when you go around telling people I owe you money and I’m a piece of shit because of it save it. Everyone knows the truth.

I have a TIG but wouldnt mind a mig machine kicking around the shop. How much you looking to get for one? PM me if you want.

whether its this thread or the previous deebo thread or even something as stupid as the Honda chopper thread you are always right there giving shots whether they are indirect or direct. how long am I suppose to sit back and let you do that?

not a single car was tuned with your kit, I always used the shops tuning supplies. your stuff was there for emergency purposes only, and that was it. you basically waited till I I wasn’t at the shop then you showed up and let yourself have it back. well if that’s the case then you should probably pay me for my time spent on your car. And don’t think I don’t know your talking shit behind my back when you and all your jnj buddies are standing around circle jerking in parking lots. Everything gets back to me and I know everyone that talks shit.

This is a larger commercial MIG that the company has around $5,500 into. I don’t personally own it, the shop does. If the deal was right, I was given permission to swap it for a decent TIG machine that would stay on the premises, which would be nice to have for both work and hobby. That said, Strait offered something like $1,200 for it, which was poo-pooed right away. I don’t think it would be let go for anything less the $2,500-3,000, which may not be realistic, but it’s not my call.

Sweet. Well since you are considering I would say get a TIG. I recently grabbed a Diversion 180 from Miller and love it. Kind of wish I went bigger but who knows if I will use it much after my current project.

Rigghhtttt because calling and texting you for a week to get my stuff from you and you finally saying you were at the shop and then not there sounds like i waited till you werent there. You had my supplies for at least 2 years i cant even keep track. But ok, and just a heads up its not me and the jnj guys talking shit behind your back, its basically everyone you have ever been in contact with.

Also you attack me on here when I never said a thing against you, Jay is the best at what he does he does exhaust and fab projects of different sorts. Hes not out tuning not building motors for ppl he just does what he does and is the fucking man at it. He doesnt have to talk shit on fb or forums because his work backs him up.

+1

this but damn. i have nothing bad to say about anyone however jays welds are fucking awesome. no filter or any bullshit, they still look like this after beating the piss out of my car since he did it months ago :tup:

wait… there’s actually a Weld Wars TV show?

I’d really like to never see this again. It’s not a weld war you fucking knot head. That’s not what the thread is about.

Well you turned it that way. :slight_smile:

No. No I didn’t at all. I never once said we should have a competition. Why I am even arguing this with you? I could have a more intelligent conversation with a walmart greeter.

God damnit Steve if I see another picture of this sexed car I’m gonna find you and steal it :):slight_smile:

I have nothing bad to say against anyone or the work they do… But how I see it, and correct me if I’m wrong…

Jay is very good at fabrication and designing. The material you use, and the type of welding you are accustom to, brings out what we see in all your photo’s. I don’t know the pro’s and con’s of your style, but your backlog of demand shows it’s desired.

John has done very nice work as well, in both aspects of building and tuning from the ground up. It obviously shows in Dos’s build, but also the universal tuning and attention to detail on others builds. The dyno graphs are obvious proof.

Beyond that, it’s going to be a long winter in a smaaaalll city.

The thread has nothing to do with the quality of another person’s work. It is (correct me if I’m wrong here Jay) Jay pointing out that he doesn’t use filters or touch up the photos to make his weld’s look sweet. Some people apparently are REALLY upset over the fact that his exhaust work looks awesome.

I had to go and look at the honda chopper threads to see just what you were talking about and all I could find were my opinions about things (you put your build up on a public forum) or just plain constructive criticism. Obviously there is a pattern here. You are very sensitive to constructive criticism. I can’t help that and it seems you have a personal problem with insecurities so I recommend (although you don’t ever take anyone’s advice even if others know better, john knows it all) seeking some therapy. If you stop in at your HR office they most likely have an EAP help line, this is usually free.

As for the Deebo thing I have no idea what you are talking about. If someone asked a question and I answered it with facts I don’t know what to tell you. Facts are facts John and I knew what happened to the car just by reading the posts.

As for this thread. Jay made a statement that I happen to agree with. You are not the only one hearing shit talking. I’ve been hearing your mouth run about me and yet you’ve never said anything to my face. You talk so much shit about anyone and everyone you are connected with. It’s a two way street. The only difference between you and I is that I am man enough to deal with it or laugh it off as I consider the source.

If you read this thread and still think that everyone else is the problem you need to get your head out of your ass and look in the mirror. Then read the quote at the bottom of this post. It fits you to a fucking T. That is as direct as I can make it.

If you want to discuss this more see me next time I’m at the shop because this is fucking retarded.

Appearantly you are one of few that doesn’t have their head up their ass. That’s exactly what this thread is about.
It was said I like to use camera tricks/filter/fancy cameras to church up my welds.

No color is added. The photos are edited yes. And colors are brought to life, not added.
Just like an edited photo of a blue car, it’s still blue. Someone clearly doesn’t like the fact that my photos look better. That’s the point of the thread.

A $500 camera is used. In no means is it “fancy”. I have no clue what I’m doing when I hit the shutter. My camera skills are that of a telemarketer. It’s not hard to take a photo that looks better than a camera phone.

The thread is not about who’s better. So stop making it about that. The thread is to address the fact that my welds are phony and that I’m not a “fabricator”.

And clearly, john has more scores to settle outside of my fabrication skills and photos.
All I would like out of this thread is for someone to admit he was shit talking, when he shouldn’t have been.
To say Jealousy and other life problems got the best of him. A statue be erected in my likeness to which he must knee too each morning. And to keep my his trap shut about me, my work and my life.

Is that too much to ask?

you realy want to get personal Don? You realy want to talk about seaking counseling? you should look in the mirror yourself buddy. Was this your professional (cereal plant manager) speech you would give the old ladies on the line at general mills? Sorry don, you claim your facts are facts when infact they are your opinions and that only. you are always claiming you (know better) or you have all the facts. Constantly trying to “help people” when realy all you do is try to belittle them? where is your constructive criticism when your leaving shop rags inside engines or installing connecting rods backwards? Keep involving yourself in this thread. we all have skeletons that I have no problem letting out. The difference between me and everyone else taking shots here is I have nothing to lose.

Seek help, and take their advice. Other than that if you have anything you’d like to discuss we can talk in person.
