    hahaha well i would much appreciate the help as well. i have almost 0 help 90% of the time because people seem to think when i invite them over to help i really mean free beers and sit on their asses while i work. so that stopped and people are no longer coming to my house. shitty building a whole truck on fucking crutches hahahhaaha. at least its coming together none the less.

    i agree with you steve-o... as that is the way i learned.. i was taught by some very very skilled people and i was thier shop bitch in return for the knowledge they were passing on to me. people these days must expect everything for nothing. they think imma teach them or let them weld on my truck and they take no initiative to help out in clean up, or even bring beer or snacks. yall are right... fuck those dudes... which of yall are coming over with the brews to help this weekend? hahaha
