Any custom fabrication shops near panama/port st joe FL?

[shiftdrift]

possibly moving there around january and needing a new job of course if i do. i'm a fabricator/painter/mechanic and i have several years experience in all of them, i have a pretty nice resume to show my skills and won't be waste of time, i can assure. i weld anything from mild steel to inconel, tig or mig, i do both daily. currently, i am working at a hot rod/nascar shop building custom frames/bodies/rear end setups/suspension etc. all info can be provided if need be. not really looking for a dealership job, at all.....either a custom shop, or a good tig welding job at a factory. thanks a ton in advance!

bump? anyone?

[shiftdrift]

bump it up.

[projectblak]

Damn jack ur moving? Don't forget to give the me the calipers and rotors lol

[shiftdrift]

it'll be a few months if i do, just checking around ahead of time. and yeah, i am getting the calipers straightened out now. just sold the ones i had, going to get the new ones soon.

For Fab work try looking up son of a jeep. They do a lot of cages and rock crawler stuff. For painting any body shop around town. Mechanic work is the same. There's not many specialty shops around Panama city. St. Joe is kind of a wasteland for anything. You can check out BJ`s auto there though. Good luck.

[shiftdrift]

Hey thanks for the reply. I found Sheffield race cars, orange man customs and a custom exhaust shop on my.visit there. I'll look up the Jeep place.

[cmg]

Yep. There's those too. If your talking about mad hatter then don't bother. Persue alternatives.

[shiftdrift]

yeah....that place haha. well thanks for the advice. i ran into a few s13 people at the nissan/mazda dealership and driving around. if you did see me i was in the silver moss s14 kouki with ssr's.

[cmg]

Didn't see you. There's a lot of s chassis love in PC. You might see mine when you come down. Green Zenki with weds farmas. If you talk to the guys from Mazda then you'll see me around.

[shiftdrift]

added some of my work

[shiftdrift]

bumpski...

[cmg]

Thats some legit work.

[shiftdrift]

Thanks man. I've always taken pride in my work. I love welding

[cmg]

Seems like theres always someone needing something fabbed. Me included. Your first post says around January. By that time I might be wanting a cage. Maybe I'll be your first client here.

[shiftdrift]

well i won't have a tubing bender by then haha. nor a place to do it i don't think. it'll take a month or two to get my stuff situated, and i don't have a personal bender. i can weld in a pre-bent cage. i recommend S&W race cars in PA for buying a pre-bent. i have a friend that works there.

[shiftdrift]

Bumpski ....
