    Thought some of you may lilke to see some of the work from Queen City Fabrication. This is a 55 first series truck we are working on. Thats C***ie welding on the stainless exhaust system with the tig. This is her first try at exhaust and she is doing wedge cuts instead of J bends. I think she is doing a great job. Im the one doing the fender rust repair. The customer had the parts sandblasted but had nowhere to put them so they rusted again. I fixed all the rust and dents then will have them lightly blasted to remove the rust .

    here are some more photos of the truck process, some is of frame repair some is sheet metal on hood lip. I know c***ie should wear long sleeves when welding and so does she but sometimes you just get excited and forget. Ill try and post more as we go along with this if anyone wants to see. Thanks RED

    alittle more from today sometimes when trying to fix older stuff that is not available you have to make it. C***ie made the accelerator linkage , all the pieces. We dont have any cnc machines or even a boring mill she made all this with a small lathe and a band saw.
