Man you must be tough to say the welding is easy. The hanging upside down, crawling around the bars, laying down on the floor and there always seems to be a bolt stuck in your back is the fun stuff. The car is coming along nicely. Very nice job.

It all depends on the application.

Welding a Tube chassis like this together is the toughest part IMO. Its something I dread doing, Thats for sure, but its always worth it when you can sit back and admire the beads!
