and then you end up on a catalog cover..









And that's how that stuff works.



I'm fairly certain the boy is attached to his && ford truck, which is occupying space in my garage, while my truck sits outside. lol

thanks guys.

These two went to prom together 2 years in a row with that truck. They are both out of school now, she's in college, he's completed his tech school (welding). He's working full time welding, she's working towards her RN, they are still together and very happy.

He gathered a lot of certificates at school.

The kid loves to weld, all kinds of welding. Right now I think what fascinates him the most is stick and tig, pipe and structural.

He recently landed a job with a company that does a lot of pipe and structural on the road. Regional stuff, additions, new construction, modifications at existing facilities. Everything from factories to retail... pretty much anything above water right now. lol.

I know this week he's mig welding stainless air duct systems. I'm really not sure what the application is for the duct system, but he's pushing stainless .035 wire on 18-14 gauge stainless duct tunnels.

Unreal Dave.  A friend of mine died 2 years ago and I got his 94 F-150 4wd.  Straight 6 4 speed.  Just turned over to 70,000 miles last week.  Maybe I told you this already.  Has rust on all wheel wells.  I told the wife I may have you fix it up.  She said I don't think so.  lolol  Great work you do.  Keep em coming...
