Helping To Keep Electric Cars Charged. Croz Custom Metal Fabrication

 






Last year, because of COVID, Potential Electrical Design Services decided to cancel one of the Tesla Super Charger stations in the Vacaville Factory Stores. They had to cut some of the mounting tabs off in order to install them and couldn’t return the modules with them missing. So I made them like new again.

Designing and Building An Invisible Gate

 





I was asked to repair (modify) a fence at one of the gated communities surrounding one of our local golf courses. This is a hidden gate I designed on the fly to allow the occupants to sneak out, right from their back yard. Now you see the opening. Now you don't. Blends right in!

Air Stream Gets a Replacement Coupler - Customer Gets to Go Camping!

 




                      Bay Area Air Stream called me out to replace yet another damaged coupler.

The bummer was, this lady came in Saturday to pick it up and set out on her adventure. They didn't get the replacement coupler in until 10:30 today, but I was ready to install it.

This was a 20' Basecamp model at $54,400, with state tax it's just south of 60 grand! Some of the trailers on their lot had stickers up to $200,000.00

Some Interesting Ornamental Welding In Fremont CA








Completed Project

This is why I need a C-23 license with CSLB.

(https://www.cslb.ca.gov/About_Us/Library/Licensing_Classifications/C-23_-_ORNAMENTAL_METAL.ASPX)

I have that license so I can do these fun ornamental projects.. The images shown are decorative Trellises in front of Lennar at Innovations living community in Freemont. I did this welding job for Column Concepts of Benicia. Prior to the welding, these are ratchet-strapped together as I tap weld them, then I can start removing the straps as I go, then start welding these together.

Croz Repairs Car Transporter Ramp at North Bay Truck Center








I was called to North Bay Truck Center to repair a ramp on a Car Transporter where the Pin had failed using the parts from a non matching ramp. I had to literally dissect both ramps.
