  • We Mean Business

    As you’ve seen by some of our previous designs, we like to put our name out there.

    This week, we decided to make a few business cards that strayed from our current design of gold text on black paper. We opted for a small, subtle change from this layout. Now, we’re making some out of stainless steel. The man behind the new business “card,” Mike Eastway, starts by drilling out the design on a single piece of unpolished stainless steel.




    Once the design is cut out, you can see that it looks neat, but it’s not nearly ready yet. Next up comes a few rounds of sanding and buffing to eliminate any leftover shavings and most of the scratches:



    After it’s polished enough to sufficiently blind whomever angles the card incorrectly, we hand it over to Tom, who was nice enough to run a small bead across the card. We like to show off our level of craftsmanship here at Fluid MotorUnion, so it makes sense that we’d include some of the best-looking welds in the country:



    With everything said and done, it’s a process that takes a couple hours, but the end result is quite the beauty to behold:

    Have a Happy (and safe) Thanksgiving, everybody!

This site was founded on freedom of automotive self expression and the passion that goes in to each and every build... This site is about doing what you like, whatever makes you happy, and not caring about what other people think...

                              Oh. My. Fucking. God. ZERO refraction or warpage. NONE.


                              If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

                              Your blast pipes look stupid.
