hi, never done much welding and cutting until I got into a truck restoration project. One of the guys on the truck forum links to this forum a lot so I thought I would stop in and check it out.

heres my current nightmare:


heres the truck after a year or so of on and off tinkering.



Here it is now. I sometimes wonder what I got myself into. I've done all the work myself so far other than some sand blastering and help from buddies that can lift heavy things.
