"G Fab" fab thread
 
It's been a long road filled with cars, fabbing and welding. A quick introduction: My name is Aaron Garcia and I got my start welding in 99' at my high school. Then moved on to community college, only to finish a couple of semesters to start working at Max-Rev Motorsports. Later, regretfully, worked for Chassi Tech/Aim industries(enough about that). Picked up by Full-Race for a major portion of my career. And currently welding for AFI Turbo and a place we like to call Half-Race. Well, I'll keep this updated (weekly/bi-weekly) with ideas and cars I work on. So...criticize, compliment, question or just skim through. Either way, enjoy! Oh, thank Indub for the thread name.:)

Hi Scott. How's Tucson

EFfective 11-04-2009 10:41 PM

is that a cardboard template i see in there?

AFFIRace 11-05-2009 11:22 AM

That's funny, it does look like cardboard. That's the actual oem part that locks in place.

EFfective 11-05-2009 09:48 PM

yea it really does. i just figured it was because that's what i used to use.

Dead Bird 11-05-2009 11:25 PM

I'm not knocking the idea at all, but what is its purpose?

Only thing at least for now i can think of is does it make it harder to mess up while preloading?

Pretty much takes the risk out of accidentally letting the button go on the way down?

AFFIRace 11-06-2009 06:41 PM

That's pretty spot on. I know it's not hard to race without this, but I figured the less you have to think about, maybe the better. I think some use a line lock and just push a button at the sight of green. I chose this because it was inexpensive, fun to figure out and hopefully when I get this on the track, it helps. Does it? I don't know yet.

Dead Bird 11-06-2009 06:59 PM

Ha well i'm sure with the right marketing you could sell it to plenty of people.

B16offuryz 11-08-2009 03:53 PM

Looks really good GFab!

AFFIRace 11-08-2009 10:41 PM

Nah. That's too much work to market. I can barely get my friends to say "Ahh dude, make me one". I think the only other one is in Locash's drag car, and that one needs to be redone like this one. His was a prototype.

B16offuryz 11-08-2009 11:31 PM


"Ahhh d00d make me one!"

AFFIRace 11-15-2009 12:30 PM


king06 11-15-2009 01:07 PM

pplh8r 11-16-2009 12:04 PM
