Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 

Thanks all for the kind words.Im anxious to get to where I can start fitting the sheetmetal,,.Lots to do before that..Thanks again.

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 

Wow.... that is going to be one sick truck!!!

Your welding skills are amazing!!!

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 

;)

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 

This is my 1st real build,,,I hope to develope the skills to do nicer work in the future. ~T.

Wow! Is all I have to say. Your one talented welder in my opinion. Almost as good as I am. ;) J/K.
Looks good, and keep up the good work. That's gunna be one killer ride when your finished.

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 

Thank you Barry. I started welding 9 months ago.95% of the welding Ive done has been on this truck. I used it to learn on ,figuring If I made a mess of it ,I could just call the salvage yard to come pick it up. I would like to lay down welds like Nathan Porter but I dont get enough practice,,some day.... Thank you for the encouragement. ~T.

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 

Thats impressive for being a beginner at welding. Yeah you've got it right, practice makes perfect. and the thing about working with metal. Is if you mess up, just take it back loose and try again.
Oh if you decide to call the wrecking yard to get, Pm me I'll come get it. :)

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 

Thanks, and :lol:

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
