Thanks for the encouragement Bomp - "coming along" is a good way to describe my welding skills. Better than they started, but still not nearly as clean as yours! Hope your shindig is a big success and that you post some pics on your thread.
Thanks for yours as well 67chevy1series. I'm impressed that for a "only 19" year old you have the dedication to keep plugging away at all of the improvements on your truck.

The paint job on yours made the most obvious difference, but I know all the other things you've done really add up!
