Looking good Kenny,

I got called in to repair what another person had started for this guy on his truck, it seems that when things get tuff or go wrong, i am called in to fix other people's problems, not complaining as i do love what i do for a crust.

The truck was all twisted from a previous persons attempt at building the truck and i was contracted to repair everything to a point where i can leave the owner to fix little things and grind what needs grinding.

Most of the time it takes longer fixing other people's mistakes with one of these as there is extra work to do to remedy the previous problems, such as the old engine mounts interferred with the way the steering was lined and was down right ugly.

Nice work!

Bet you can't wait to finish so you can get started on that Firebird behind it!

Good to hear that you have a backlog of work waiting.

Can't wait to see that Firebird when finished.... NOT!

Yeap, looks like you are saving the best for last.

Well the Poncho is an easy one to work on, the one in the corner is a 1939 Plymouth 3 window coupe, and he has big plans for it and me

Kenny looks like you have a good chance to fix up the Road Runner and dart.

Looks like fun for sure.

I understand about fixing other peoples mistakes or problems. Done a lot of that myself.

Ken that is some fine looking fabricating buddy.

I think you should move to the states and open up a shop, maybe somewhere close to Carlisle then ya could make the show every year.

Nice work. I'd love to have a project like that to learn some skills on and keep it a rat rather than mess up something nice like my Challenger. Thanks for the pics!
