Re: MY build thread...

Just a teaser but I finally got to work on my truck again and welded in the door handle delete plates I made but I'm kind of broke after hawaii so it will be tough to get things done for a while I will have pics later tonight. Also did some polishing on my carb.

Thats what I do for a living although now I just weld because theres no work but before all my jobs were fab jobs like floor pans,rockers,cab patches,if it was rusted we had to make it. Thats was fun. Now its just SLOW. Thanks guysat this rate I might be done next year LOL.

Re: MY build thread...

Did you weld up the joint on the hood? They look great! How difficult was that? I am thinking about doing that as well if it's not too dangerous (warpage)
