Yeah, never used one before, sick machine.

Here is a shot I took while it was punching the cover:

Yeah it's a good size shop, just gotta figure a way to make it work from day one to turn a profit. I can pretty much afford to buy it, but not to keep it up without it turning a profit. I may try to get a lift and a mandrel bender and besides punching out stuff do some truck lifts and maybe exhaust/header work in there.

The place made huge LED signs previously...

Well looks like I am swimming up stream here but I would just polish what you have it would be a good match to your bumper not something on the other end of your truck. Take it or leave it but if it were mine I would just buff it up and it would look like chrome.

I like the new piece. If you do buy the shop I hope you can keep it up and make a profit off of it.
