I'm a professional welder at L&M Radiator.

We make radiators anywhere from 2'X2' to 12'X14'. Mack semis to Caterpillar 797 dumptrucks(biggest ones we make so far). Every build is new and exciting, access to the "good tools" for home projects is allowed, and lots of scrap steel/aluminum for all my crazy home projects.

I love it!!

Guardian Automotive (now known as SRG). I work in molding in the plastics division. There is 2 paint lines and a plater at our plant. We make grills and side mouldings for a variety of vehicles including the 93-97 Ranger grill and 2 Mazda B series grills.

They also have a float glass division too. Look down in your passenger bottom corner of your windshield. If it has a G in a box and says safety float glass, then it was made by the company I work for. I know my windshield was made there.
