Re: 49' Patina bagged in PA

haha, thanks 49' yah know, all this was done by hand, no Ewheel or shrinker. though I will be getting those and a bead roller, just slowly getting the right tools. there are so many great builds and builders that don't have the best tools. all was done by hand once, now its just easier with tools. I really like working with metal and would love to learn all I can about it. on my 52' I'm doing, I started on some body parts a year ago and I'v got some hours in for sure, learning hammer and dolly is fun. I really would like a tig if I'm gonna work with 18-20g sheetmetal, but hey lotta guys still use mig too. This cab was bad, couldn't see spending $80 alone just in cab corners. If I bought every patch I could have gotten a better cab, but chose not to because I want to bring them back to life but as economically as possible. Next build, for sure will have a better cab!!! I'll have easy 100 hours into this thing.
