I don't have a huge assortment of machining equipment, I don't have a paint booth, I'm lucky enough to have a lift and a nice level concrete floor, but other than that, everything in this build is done with standard hand tools that could be found in must peoples garage save maybe a welder and a drill press. other than those two things, I have a sawzall, die grinder and cutting wheels, a plumbers hole saw, some angle grinders, and a bunch of air tools. I am living life on an extreme budget. I have a 2 kids in diapers and have little to spend on this project. If I can finish it and make it look pretty good it might give hope to that other guy like me that looks at his rusty, beat up truck and says "I'll never afford to fix it, I should just sell it. I hope for this to be an ongoing improvement project for me and my son. It will be his learning tool when he picks up a wrench.

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding
