nice, hell of alot nicer than the booger-welds i made when i was 15.and remember, chicks dig a guy that can melt steel

 

So, what did you find in the chamber that caused the rust through, leaves, rags, dead rodents, pine needles, someones stash? The air intake in front of the windshield let all kinds of crud in and sometimes plugged up the drain; same deal with the 55-57 p***enger cars. 55-59 Chevrolets, cool old trucks. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Awesome..keep doin'..learnin'..you got some skills....

Only thing I could do with a torch when I was 15 was heat springs ...

 

yes there was alot of old leaves in there in the front air intake that i have cleaned out be for puting it.
