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.

BarryB 09-19-2008 09:29 PM

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. :)
