    My vote goes for Shmellmopwho. A heck of an innovator with a real day job and he still has time to make quality parts for those of us in the South Bay Area. I really appreciate that he took the time to custom fit my Sliders, & I plan to go back for more products. I hope you win dude

    Voting for @Rattletrap66 because his truck has come a long way this year with little invested (relatively)
    That SOB scoops up the deals anywhere in the state on CL and on TW before anyone can even read about them.

    ... and yours is an awesome build too. So much talent out there. I can butcher wood with the best , but if only I could weld. :( I'll take a course when I retire soon.

    You don't need a course. Buy a welder and watch YouTube. That's what I did.

    Coaching from those that know certainly helps. Makes the learning curve a lot faster.
    Good welders make strong welds. Great welders make strong welds that look good. Don't need to win a beauty padgen to have fun with your rig.
