    Your an inspiration to anyone wanting to do similar, itโ€™s the way you approach projects, trying your best to achieve a result you want and not looking for perfection, but ending up with a decent final result ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

    Drop the saw guide down and you find it cuts a lot straighter.

    I'm amazed at the activity of American mice. They seem to be everywhere.

    Your equipment is a little small, but a full width roll pan would have been nice on the rear of that truck.

    As a ex body man and a ex welder fitter. I cringed at times while watching your process. But for a guy with not a lot of metal work experience you did pretty good job. You actually surprised me by the time you had buttoned it all up! Just keep it up! and before you know it you'll have some decent skills under your belt. To become a good metal worker it just take hours and hours of practice and you will learn from every job. That is how I learn years ago..cheers bud. Actually this pickup truck is not that bad. I've worked on much worst believe you me.

    The foot of your ban saw blade should be adjusted to the thickness of your workpiece, to minimize any flex in the blade.
    That curved corner cab glass is the coolest!
