It’s the second time I’ve attended the first being the last time Fabtech was in Vegas three years ago. I saw several things that I’d like. Here are a few that I was able to buy after seeing them at the show.

Profax Platinum Compact MIG gun with flex nozzle
With a 15′ lead and flex head it makes it easier for me to work around the car, particularly in a cage.

Magswitch 200 amp Magnetic Work Clamp
I’ve not been pleased with the regular work clamps for cage work. This mag clamp I can stick to the tubing, firewall or chassis with ease.

Stronghand Angle Clamps
These are great, I got a few of them and will add more. A good range of adjustability and easy to use.

It’s been a pretty crappy last year and half or so. Last summer the Miata project stalled out and I haven’t been able to get back to it in ernest until just after the first of this year. I need to get it together so I can either race it or sell it. The next project up is a trail truck for my wife and I.
