    Minor welding, went through the thin metal on a couple spots. I'm still learning as I go.

    I agree. Those are great lookin welds. I don't recall ever seeing any better. From the pix of his shop it appears he is in the pro-builders class. Nice to have a friend w/ that kind of expertise...:thumbs2:

    Great welder. He can build chassis or custom headers. He's a fabricator, if anybody needs any work done in the sacramento area I highly recommend him.
