Rebeliousengineering, that's some incredible work! I was checking out your web site. I can only wish to weld as nice. Some day maybe...

Life isn't about arriving at the end in a pristine, well preserved body; It's about sliding in sideways, all clapped out, yelling "What a ride!"

thanks a lot! Not to put you down, but for some encouragement i just turned 21 last week so I've been working on that car since i was 18 but back in high school besides just welding and machining when i was bored i worked for a very prestigious hot rod shop, thats been in every hot rod magazine around and i learned a lot about fabricating and welding nevertheless welding is all about patience its easy once you get the hang of it and you will develop an ear for the sound and see how the puddle is acting. As far as the body work goes i use to work for a car prep company that would make cars for movies and TV shows; i worked on the first two fast and the furious movie cars, from their i learned body work a lot of sanding and finally in to the painting so all in all its something you can do as long as you have the time to learn it.



As for the car i just painted the inside of the car sanded it to metal then painted the floor with a rust inhibitor so it wont rust again, the next thing to do is to still paint that firewall, but work and school has been taking up a lot of my time. As soon as the firewall is painted it all goes back together everything else is ready to get put back on, the engines new and all shiny trans rebuilt, i just have to lay some insulation down which i have and carpet. I'm hoping to be done by the end of january it all depends on how much i work since i work for the studios i work one week then maybe a couple days off then a month straight it all depends so will see ill put new pictures up in the next few days.



Thanks again
