wanted to brag about my wife she welded - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kulturekat · 04-07-2009, 10:46 AM

my wife and i got back home from the streetrod supernationals. after cruisin in a couple of our rides out there and meeting a lot of great people we got home and she decided she wanted to learn to weld. so since im working on smoothing out my bed for my truck i decided she cant hurt that so she got out there and went to town. so proud just had to brag a bit.

thats cool that she wants to get in there and help...

**Stocker** · 04-07-2009, 10:51 AM

That is too cool!! Props to you for letting her do it, and to her for wanting to!

kulturekat · 04-07-2009, 11:01 AM

i know the whole reason i was attracted to her was no high maintenance and she loved old cars. i built her a 66 mustang shes had since she was 15 and her and her dad couldnt finish it. sicne then she loves getting outt here and doing stuff. my stuff is body ork and customizing not too great with engines so shes knowlegable with the paint and body work too im also trying to teach her to pinstripe. shes a fast learner

Very cool. I think you have bragging rights! Not too many wives would get out there and get their hands dirty like that. (I know mine wouldn't)

SiCk_DiAbLo · 04-07-2009, 11:40 AM

Very cool is right, good to see the ladies getting dirty..I mean that in a good way.

*MonteSS454* · 04-07-2009, 11:54 AM

You aren't that far from me, have your wife come teach mine

kulturekat · 04-07-2009, 12:22 PM

shell be out there at the oklahoma meet well get them together.

67ChevyRedneck · 04-07-2009, 12:27 PM

How long did it take you to fix her work?

Just kiddin' that's awesome!

kulturekat · 04-07-2009, 12:31 PM

my teaching involves her fixing her own work haha no she did a great job. she picked up everything very well that all we did was have to grind it down to smooth it out she did great. the 57 ford in the back is hers that shes building.

72BlckButy · 04-07-2009, 02:01 PM

That's awesome kulturekat!

You guys need to be sure to bring your truck over to the Midwest All Truck Nat's in Riverside, MO on September 11-13. Show off that work first hand..

OK since nobody else asked,I will.Does she have a sister?
J/K the QOV would kill me(may anyway) but it's really cool that she wants to learn and will put in the effort to do so.

Can't hurt it? Man, you haven't seen some of the welding I have come across in the past. I have seen quarter panels and door skins warped so bad that they had to be cut back apart to release the tension...

It's cool to have a wife/gf that really wants to get out there and do some automotive working....no matter what kind.

kulturekat · 04-08-2009, 09:22 AM

well what i meant is that nothing i cant fix. i dont care if she tears something up at least she wants to be out there tearing it up rather than griping at me for being out there tearing it up.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-08-2009, 10:26 AM

That is very cool...

sswitzke · 04-08-2009, 10:36 AM

Thats cool, an extra set of hands to work on your truck.
