And so it begins

Who I am:
Joe Hest of perley, MN
I spent a couple years as a professional fabricator, I only quit because I do not believe in half rate work. I am a 5th generation farmer, I currently live on the land that all of my ancestors livedo on (in the US). I started working on small engines when I was 7 years old. Quickly progressing into cars. My first project was a 65 chevy pickup. When I started working on cars almost daily, I quickly moved towards the fabrication side of things. At 17 I saved my money from harvest to buy a miller tig welder. Now as I move towards the future I dream of pettingell hammers and purely well built vintage equipment. From a young age I was instilled with pride and that quality is the only thing that matters. I enjoy build patch panels that are perfect as apposed to buying Chinese garbage. I do welding or the some most important guys in local car culture. I am still technically a teenager, I've stayed up days on end to complete projects. Hard work attracts me, and I will never stray from a challenge.

My junk:
My 65 c10 which is still under construction has received more of my heart and soul than anything. I have hundreds of hours in cad creating 1 off pieces that I believe should be on there. I have redone the floor 4 times now, because perfection is the only thing that will suffice.

41 Chevrolet cab over: it was used by a local farmers for 40 years before it sat for another 40. I got it from his son, and I don't think I could ever find another one. It's is quite destroyed so I should get to spend many hours rebuilding it from flat steel.
