You have not lived until you've spend hours welding in 100* heat. LOL.

I remember drinking most of a big Gatorade cooler that day.

QFT. I believe it. I've worked in a shop where alot of welding and moving heavy objects was the norm due to a shop move, avg temp that summer was at least 90 everyday for a month....I drank every chance I got LOL

Looks cool, man. Definitley looks presentable. I shot my CJ7 in my driveway last year. Was a great feeling telling people I did it myself.

You can cut and buff that now to make it look even better....good job for a first timer and even more for a cat your age.

camarocrazy42 09-18-2012 09:12 AM

That looks pretty sweet. I know you're not completely done with it but that looks great. Now...drive the thing lol even if your dad needs to drive it. Chatterbox still has a couple Saturday nights left. Cops and Rodders in Hackettstown still has a couple Thursdays left. (Lowes/Wendy's parking lot on Mountainside ave.)
