Welcome to Lat-g, Very cool project and killer fab and welds
Keep us updated

Thanks man...

damn!!! you dont see tigs like that come out of home garages to often! :unibrow:
you look to have so killer fabrication skills, you work it a shop too?

imo i feel that the level of quality that you truck looks to be really doesent deserve a wheel like a coys though.;)

Thanks man... I would get better wheels but can't seem to get paid what i'm worth, so i'm planning to get my own thing going just have to come up with a plan of what i want to do for a income for my business...I've redone this tuck so many time as i got better and learned more over the years, if i could i would redo it again since i have even better tools...but i'm going to save my time on a project that would be worth something if i ever had to sale it..

I work at a ATV shop, but they like to use me so it just gives me more motivation to do my own thing

here is my good stuff

Great looking welds.....cool project.:cool:

Wow, nice welds. What shop do you work for if you don't mind me asking. I used to build atv suspension. It was under the name Gibson. Just me and my old boss. Now I have my own shop and work on nothing but old stuff. It's hard when they don't appreciate what you do. Good luck. Thanks, Jon.

WOW!! Those are some killer welds! Nice project too!! And welcome to the site!! :thumbsup: :cheers:

X 2 !!! :thumbsup:

Jason

amazing welding and fab skills! keep it up:thumbsup:

interested in doing a full custom suspension on my 71 Cuda? 20x11 front and 22x13 rear tucked with 3.5-4" ground clearance at riding height

Maybe shot me a PM on what you want done exactly...

Thanks, Brooks

I have seen this guys stuff on another board, welding skills will make most grown men cry of shame or pissed off from jealousy.

I would guess you'll be getting some offers to join up with a real shop. I'm impressed!

I actually help out at porter built street rods with some of his welding stuff...


Thanks for all the comments guys

Someone paided attention in welding class!:thumbsup:
Nice work!

I can attest to the talent this guy has! His ability with the TIG torch leaves no room for improvement! It has made me spend countless hours of my "spare time" with the TIG trying to keep up (the weld envy has been killing me)! Best part, he's not just an incredible welder... he's a good person too.

This is my first post here ate and want to say--AMAZING TALENT YOU GOT!In Australia you would command your price with quality work like that..awesome welds mate!!:thumbsup:

Add me to the list of truly impressed people on this board about your welding fab skills..and welcome aboard:thumbsup:

Thanks for all the comments guys...

SICK! look forward to seeing more progress, keep up the great work. I wish I could TIG that's for sure.

I heard that guys who can weld like that can walk into WEst Cost Choppers and if they lay it down like that during the audition they are hired on the spot... Check it out....

I gotta join the rest of everyone else by saying great welds. That is artwork in my book.

Interested in moving out of AZ?

One day...

+eleventy billion. :hail:

Incredible Welds - But Porterbuilt said he's really a nice guy.

Now that is a really talent.

Talented and Nice and he's building a mini-truck

That's freaking AWESOME !!!!!

HA HA Thanks!

Brother hard at work grinding

has a porter built dropmember on it

So when I am read to have some Titanium bosses for disk brakes welded onto to my Mountain Bike frame I really should consider sending you the frame.

And then you could make me a set of extended front a-arms for my raptor... :thumbsup:

Women can have diamonds. I'd take a bead of welds like that any day! :bow: Metal is beautiful in the right hands.

Got some work done on my truck
