Working on Cars and Welding
I own a 1983 F100 as well as a 1968 C20 that I do all my work on myself or with my father or grandfather. The c20 was fully rebuilt besides the body work. I have a decent amount of experience with working on cars and trucks since I have been doing it since I was the age of 15 and I am currently 21. I have completed the Welding program my school offered, with what I learned there I applied it to my hobby and by fabricating a few pieces on all my vehicles such as an firewall A/C block off plate on the 1968 C20, bed mounts and headache rack for a 1990 F-Superduty, and smaller pieces for a 1990 F-150.
