Hey what's up everyone. My name is Drew. I've owned a bunch of different stuff in the past and am looking into building an 86 hatch. I'm a welder/fabricator/machinist for a performance shop in the Dallas, TX area. Really I'm here to help the community with advanced knowledge of a wide range of subjects.

Pics of previous stuff I've worked on.

I was a machinist and engine developer on the Formula SAE car
I did the intercooler on the skyline
The silver S13 I did headers and exhaust. Its now back for motor build and dry sump
The red S14 I modded the rear quarter panels for overfenders and put in D1GP legal door bars
I did a mil-spec chassis harness for the purple S13
Pics that arn't of cars I was just screwing around or making a jig for making something else

If there's interest I'll post some more in depth pics

I have some more crazy stuff I'm working on right now but its in the early stages. I'm building a sheetmetal intake manifold for a 434+cid small block chevy with Race Flow Development high port heads and a Dart Iron Eagle tall-deck block. Its got a PT101 that'll be blowing through it with a goal of 1800whp on methanol.

I've added stuff like D1 legal door bars and whatnot. I'm actually installing a weld-in cage right now, but I won't have a tubing bender until sometime in the next week or two.
