Let us know when/where the garage sale will be- I wouldn't miss it.

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, he's out on this project now. He decided the 86 is what he wants to drive. Now this one is all on me. He did help a bunch with the tear down. He was all hands on with the 86, definetly got a learning experience.

Thanks, man!
I actually went to vo-tech in high school for welding. I started welding part time right out of high school. Mostly mig. Then, I tought myself tig welding when I got a job in a machine shop in 88. Didn't take very long to figure out my eyes couldn't take it. I started training on machines and have been in the machine shop trade since. I have access a lot of cool stuff for truck building
