Ok, I hear ya! I will keep her. Good. I like that idea better anyway. I really can't wait to get that bed fixed so I can bedline it and get some more use out of the truck.

Really, I just got freaked out because I kept reading on the internet about how you can only see 10% of the rust and if you start doing some work the next thing you know you are doing a frame-off and replacing all of the sheet metal. Hopefully the little man can get handy with a welder and we can make some progress.

I had figured on age 8 or so for learning how to weld, about the same age as his first centerfire rifle. Sound about right?
