    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    So I bought a 90amp harbor freight from CraigsList. Got the welder, auto hood, cart and tons of extras for $100.

    And here's me fixing the downspout I chopped for the LT's

    And after several spot welds and buffing I have 1 spot to fix.

    I'll have that small hole done tomorrow and then patch the original leak on the passenger header while its on the truck tomorrow morning. More pics to come then.

    Looks great Vano.
    Those alignment marks reminded me of
    my knee replacements surgical marks.

    Watch some of that crap they sell, Nick. On something like a welder I'd personally buy a name brand. Miller, Lincoln, Hobart

    Same here. I don't mind some of their hand tools, but their electrical stuff, eh not so much. I still love going in those damn stores though. I always find something I "need". :jester:
