Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I received my tubing bender from Rouge fab. Friday. I ordered the cart unwelded. I figure it will give me a chance to learn to tig weld and spray some paint with my turbine system. I practiced for a while and jumped right in. Not sure it is a stack of dimes but it"s a stack of something. I went to the welding store and bought 20 tungsten. If nothing else I'm becoming quite adept at grinding tungsten. I took a small project in Wisconsin starting in a week (Orielly"s auto parts store) so no work on the truck for about 3 months. Pete and Jakes are working on my custom front axle. Have to go make some truck money.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Ok, got my vintage key cut for the Buick now that it's my daily driver. And I spent some time on the hood just still eye balling and getting my act straight before I start cutting it more and welding it. I am getting pretty comfortable that I am on the right track.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I took the '58 to the Cops & Rodders car show and came home with a little hardware. Top 21 (participant voting) and Norm's Pick which was made by the folks at Norm's Tire, the shows hosts...
