For thousands of years men have gathered to show off their prize stallions and mares, oxen and draft animals, their modes of transportation and the results of their work, caring for and breeding the best of the best. Nothing much has changed and men still take pride in their now iron horses at gatherings and show events. I think there is a measure of good in taking pride in what our hands have made with the help of our LORD guiding us to success. "Father TRUTH, His Spirit LOVE, His Son the FORM of God." We are not God but with Jesus" help we can certainly do marvelous things. Lest we forget to give God some glory as well.

I was a welder and fabricator for 14 year's in 2008 I had a stroke. A few year's later I found Brents you tube channel. Made me want to start getting back into welding plus watching what other people were building. Back when I started welding there was no KZitem. I still had a lot of my tool I got motivated by watching Brents vids and welded me up a welding table out of free scrap metal, the top of the table was given to me and my oldest brother gave me a vice for my table I restored the vice painted it up to match my table. Now all kinds of small project's one day I'll work my way up to a bigger project like a car ? Now a work table at my height that I can easily roll up to the table. One day I'll make a video of me working at my table. I have a few video's I made nothing to long. I have to get a stand for my phone to record as I'm working. If I can do defiantly anyone can do it

They make them widen in fiberglass back fenders I seen them on the truck's. I don't think they make the front fenders widen. This guy in Miami made a truck with widen fenders it took two truck's to build one truck. He name the truck El Gordo meaning fat boy or big boy. It's on you tube somewhere that's where I saw it. The story is he built the truck ran into money troubles year's later the owner was selling the truck and the original owner that built the truck bought it back and change a few thing's on it to make it better.

I loved the look of the early panel trucks. I worked for a man, who's name was Jack Johnson in the late fifties an real early sixties as he was one of the first men I ever worked for outside of family. My dad wanted me to work for him but Jack had stuff that dad wanted so he let Jack hire me for two dollars and fifty cents a day. Cool weather we worked from just could see til dark going home. Hot weather would take them guys out and so I would stay behind on fire watch but anything that needed fixing I could earn more money an being pretty young yet, I went for it. I kept those old 216 engines running as they had miles on them. They were the 46 model panel trucks an they packed shake bolts inside them holding almost a cord of blocks that would go to shake mills. I miss those days actually. I got real familiar with brakes on those old trucks back then as it was steep roads, and dusty as hell. Gravel roads that we traveled just about twenty miles for an it was slow so home meant at least a hours drive. Just to go that distance as those old tires would blow out an springs broke. I will say this, those trucks for that time period were damn tuff. I have yet to see anymore of those kind of panels that basically were of that same shape or design but behind the two front seats in front the body was raised up about ten inches.... I just got a brain fart here Brent... I wonder if they were short school buses?? No windows in the sides and so that couldn't been the case could it?? I was but thirteen then an didn't read or write, I thought I was smart cause I could do math and the rest of them hillbillies were challenged if it was more than the fingers on their hands. I guess I will never know now but did they make a one ton school bus body in those rigs Brent?

After the last episode, went and did some tests on some old rusty Fiat 500 fenders i had in the back, and it's such a neat method. I mean, there's a bit more work, having to hammer the inconsistency at the weld, but not having to deal with the planning of the cut, worth it. Just slap a proper width in there, and buzz it off. K.I.S.S. perfection. Best part, i think this might work for more modern cars too, just that i have to make sure the cut is not too low in the arch. I don't like plastic + bondo wings, so this is something i might try next summer.
