Don't cha just love building sh*t....

I built some racks to hold my frames, this was a test batch to make sure I liked them, I will build more now to cover the entire back 50 foot of my shop. *I just love building stuff, whether it's a frame, racks to hold my frames, frame jigs, racks to hold my tubing, or a 30 foot long table used only for suspension stuff, I just love ta build anything, I have as much fun building jigs and things to construct frames as I enjoy actually building the frames, lol.....

Shop looks awsome, and I agree,,,,,,,,,,,,,love to build anything.

I enjoy building & designing almost more than racing & driving,,,,,,,,,,,,almost

I called Yoshi one day and asked him to go play golf with me. *He said "no way man, I got build stuff, I build so much stuff. *I weld so fast, I grind so hard, I just gotta keep building stuff."

So I went a played golf by myself.

Nice shop!

Looks good but one question?

Why do you have so many Frames hanging around?
We cant make our cars fast enough and have a list so long where
always like 7 cars behind?

How can you have so many?


Anyways as far as the shop goes very nice if only I could
get the guys at my work to keep our shop as clean as yours.
We have to stop working just to clean the place back up at the end
of each day or else it would be a mess.
We put everything away everyday and clean up.
Its nice though to find what you need and not have to look for it.



Anyways I agree I dont mind making jigs, seat sliders, cars, rolling
tables and whatever you ask.. I just like to build also.

Hmm maybe there's something about us kind of people that makes
us who we are because we just like to build stuff.

Anyways good looking shop I wish I had a shop like that for myself.

It's obvious from those pics that Yoshi likes building sh1t. I've always liked building stuff too; I've built everything from portable saw mills to fith wheel trailers and from sidecar outfits to tools & machinery. Being creative has its drawbacks though - it hurts when you stop!

I have one guy who's only job is to build the chassis and suspension including the cutting, notching, bending, fitments, and welding of all the tabs. *It takes him approximately 80-85 hours from start to finish to have a frame ready for powdercoating thanks to my details jigs which line everything up very quickly. *So he can pop out a frame every 2 weeks if I had an unlimited supply of orders. *Right now, when I get an order, he gets a flat rate to build the frame and suspension, so he starts on it, and gets paid when it's done and stays motivated to do it fast. *I *do all the rest of the assembly work as well as all the design and prototyping. *If I wanna make a change, I do it and then modify the jig to accept the modification, I am always building new jigs for various parts of the rail to make it even quicker. *I am building the SXS completely by myself, the rough prototype, the final prototype, then I will build a jig. *I will then adjust all my blueprints for the jig so he can just read what I wrote and build it by the book. *I am also working on a few custom cars that are left from my paint and body business. *

Soon as business pics up, I will hire someone to cut and notch the tubing for him as well as bend them. *That will take 60 percent of his workload down, which allows me to hire someone at $8 an hour for 60 percent of the current build time instead of the closer to $25 an hour he's getting. *This will cut cost and speed up production, and he will be able to do more chassis so he will make the same money, just have to do fitment and welding only and not do the part he hates. *I would then like to hire someone for assembly to help me and I could very easily pop out 4 rails a month, maybe more. *

I currently have 5 rails being worked on at once. *2 are ready for powdercoat, but the customers make payments and haven't sent money in to proceed to powdercoating. *1 is leaving for powdercoating on Mon, 1 is a complete minus motor and powdercoat which is leaving july 23rd.,and the 5th is the side by side I am currently prototyping........

he is starting on a 6th. chassis on Mon. for a starter package order...

I was referring to the quantity of chassis and jigs etc, but now that you mention it....
