Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 248 Joined: 29-December 03 From: San Antonio, TX Member No.: 63	I'm a structural steel detailer. I work for a steel fabriactor. A general contractor sends us plans for a new building, school, shopping center, etc. and we detail (draw, model, whatever you want to call it) the structural beams, columns, channels, etc that make up the framework of the building. Basically we draw and then fabricate the skeleton of a building. Been auto-xing for about 5 years with the Texas A&M Sports Car Club. Just recently upgraded to my '01 Z28. This site seems like it's got a good start. Hoping to gather a lot of useful knowledge....

Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have.
