Quik Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 :update: as for today 5-23 my truck is now on hold. i not sure when it will get finished. Im pulling it out of the shop its currently at. Reasons to not be said. In the past I have always been pleased with the work and price but economy changes.. so truck will come back home and go back in garage unfinished. the Trans Am will stay in the salvage yard for now till i can make room for it and after the silverado is finished. I have always done my own work. I have done just about everything on the truck myself with no help from outside sources. Everything I have learned I learned cause i want it one way and cant justify or soemtiems cant afford to pay someone. This is now going to be another notch to my belt. Im going to save for a period of time and take the hit of purchasing a good quailty Tig welder along with the other fab tools ill need to finishe the work on the truck. A tig, chop, saw and mig will always come in handy for years to come. im only going on 29 and i catch on to things fast. I learned to tig decent in 3 days. im sure little more practice and ill be Money lol. I have no bad blood with any shop. just i rather do it myself. the time it takes me is the time it takes me. sorry for the long rant post but im just ticked off to all means at the moment for many reasons not only the truck situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerrider Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Sorry to here your not going to finish your truck sooner. But its a good deal to get your own welding stuff. I like miller welders that just me. Tig welding is not hard. The Navy trains people to weld aircraft parts in 4 metal groups in 8 weeks and it will pass inspection.

Quik Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 damn i was wondering wat happened to u and this thread, glad to see u stop neglecting ur truck, cant wait when ur finished with it. -Rob ya i quit with truck for a few months. i was pissed off with whole situation. then i got tired of ppl constantly talking about my truck. not to mention i was working long hours and when i did have time i played with the camaro. now camaro is where i want it for now. time to play with truck and get that horse moving. i cant have two dead dogs in the garage for winter. i need one mobile and truck is closest. so its possible thsi weekend it might fire.
