Shop Tour and Other Projects

take whenever you need that little little push well to be honest with you the real reason i did it is it's so much easier to work on because you can walk up and be right on the intercooler or whatever you need so to torque the head or change turbos or change a motor it takes out a whole nother step to me so you did did you bend all this up yourself or is this not a kit it's a kit from fire punk and then we just put it in polished it up and put it in but dude yeah drive you freaking crazy it mine mine used the same clips i think you looked at them they don't we talked about yeah it doesn't quite rattle that much i don't know maybe we're gonna do something you might be able to squish this a little bit like with a vice or something sure yeah we're gonna do something because i mean it's still a street truck and we're gonna drive it around and you have to be able to talk over it it's just annoying yeah it's really loud but it turned out very good uh this is the second cage i've ever put in so it's not like the prettiest of things there's a lot of people that can do a whole lot better than i did but i did it here it's here and it's done it looks good so that's the doco tubing and i don't really care for the way it's rusting we've polished the whole thing with like you've seen the the instagram ad for the grinder that has like the idler arm on it and the big long belt yeah it's freaking cool i got one yeah so we polished the whole thing now i got to go back in and kind of touch it up and clear coat it from 2015 you got this truck to now like how has that changed you as a person like have you evolved through this process it's made me understand both sides of being a service provider and someone that gets a service done if i go to another shop or another company and order a part or a motor or like whatever we're buying that's a customer side so i've experienced good and bad of being a customer i've experienced good and bad as being a service provider and both those lessons are hard to learn because it comes at a cost and an expense what's your goal i guess if you want to talk about like two years five years from now what do you want to what's your timeline like in your head of what you want to be doing with this place my goal is to be like recognized or as large as say fire punk diesel or power driven diesel or armor inc or any of the bigger diesel shops i want to be that size i want to be nationally known i want to be able to travel like what if we chased a nhrda…
