    Kind words from Bass go a long way. His builds are unbelieveble. Can't wait to see more on this car. Great start.

    yep, using my dads ancient mig, i got one of those cheapo dolly/ hammer sets from pepboys. I need to get some new ones because i left them inside my trck one night and since i dont have a windsheild in (because of the chop) They all developed surface rust, learned my lesson well
