Really, even to do 6-10 pedals, it won't be much longer than 30 minutes total. I'll probably try to weld my own pedal after practicing a few times (on your pedals)

No, just kidding...

John or Ryan, if you could grab doc's that would be good, and we can arrange logistics from there.

So far people who want theirs welded are:
Jon
Doc (1)
Ryan
Myself
. . . John?
anyone else?
You just need to get the pedal to Steve. He posted this before.

I started a 'social club' that everyone from this thread can join. I have no idea what this will do but figure they added it for a reason.

. . . I'm going to use the pedals as some fill in work for our guys... so I'll need it for a week. If you can part with it that long.

Myself, as I said. I'll probably have a "pro" calibrate the welder, and I'll practice on some drop steel and weld mine myself because mine is needed daily.

Consider tho that if you give me enough time I'll probably figure out how to make some money off of this to pay for my Twin Screw Super Charged Turbonator.

I think I got invites off to everyone active. If I missed anyone it's probably because I don't like you. But let me know and I'll calculate how much it'll cost to add you. I even added Optical TDI. Technically he's active. He just likes to ignore this thread. Can't say I blame him. :D

You can post pictures in the social club and they will be easier to find. :P It would also be a reason to get rid of the regional forums.

How difficult is it to find pics within our forum?
Just click on the attachment icon.
Akron/Cleveland 8 Owners.-attach.jpg

Their group pictures won't be associated to a post, so if you want to insert a pic within your post, you can't attach it.
Attachments are what I primarily use.
I would hate it if I were forced to use a website like Photobucket, which I can't use at work (filtered).

how are new people gonna find us tho? Pretty sure it's non-intuitive to go to a forum and then find a social group.

Mine's parked so no worries there! Just let me know where/when to meet you bud to give you the pedal. Grab lunch / dinner or something.

Man this morning was a BLAST getting to work. falling in love with 4WD. Blazed all the way to work without any problems.

So this morning i heard that N. Canton / Massillon / surrounding area has instituted its Emergency Snow Removal Program. It's supposed to begin in about 2 months. They've codenamed it "Spring". Looks like a pretty efficient way to keep the roads clear. See what happens.

Never knew you could do that. But that only catches attachments...none of the inline stuff that you host yourself.

4WD? I was only slightly slowed on my way to work this morning in the 8 (and that was because the other drivers)... scraped the under tray a few times, but that was it. You could drive your 8 in this no problem. (if you have snow tires)
Just keep in mind that 4WD still has 4 wheel braking... just like everyone else....

CnD Industries
We have 3 plants in the Canton Area - Fab, welding, Forming, and Machining. We've got some large horizontal floor mills, hydraulic rolls that can roll up to 6 inch plate, assorted brake presses, lathes, etc.
I do all the HR for the company, we only have 56 employees.
We do big work for Timken, we build large axial fan housings, tunnel boring equipment, etc...

Do you work for Girard or something out there?

Talked to Marlon this morning about tickets to the Autoshow. He is going to see what he can do for us. I requested 20 as that was the planned attendance for the last meet which would include a couple extra for the newbz.
