New guy from SC
Hi guys,
My name is Jason Willis and I live in Spartanburg, SC. I am currently entering my 2nd career at the age of 41. I am in Auto Body school, first semester. Before I started, school, I bought a little flux core welder and was hooked. I have been practicing with this little machine for many long nights, for about two months now. Watching welding videos, lots of Ron Covell videos, and reading about welding and metal working consumes me. I just ordered "The Key To Metal Bumping" book. I am kind of an old school guy and would like to learn Oxy/A welding, using hammer and dolly sets, English wheel, mallet's and sand bags etc... I am glad I found this forum. Nice to be here..

Small World
Really... Rock Hill. You don't say. Small world huh?
I would love to visit your shop someday. Is it your personal shop, or professional shop? I see on your profile that you restore Model A's. That is a beautiful Model A Panel Truck in your pictures. I have been on the look for one I can restore. With my budget, it would probably have to be a rusted shell. Haha I have been researching Model A frames and the one in your photos is just what I had in mind. That is very kind of you. I would love to see your set up someday..

Man you are lucky to be near some experienced guys. And they have a meet every year that seems awesome. I think you just missed it this year. Those of us living in the dark reaches of civilization can only watch and drool.
Learn some of these skills and you will be way ahead of 95% of collision repair tradesmen.
