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.
