Thanks Greg, you are welcome to come down anytime! I'm not sure if I could teach you much though...

Thank you very much! I'm happy that I could inspire someone else to start a project. I really believe that if it wasn't for this site I would only have two pieces in my collection(maybe that would have been better lol). Welding aluminum can be a bit frustrating but you can do it!

The grille guard and ladders looks really nice. With the hood side panels on there, it almost looks complete!

I'm not really sure what motivates me Nate. I'm just trying to stay busy and sane I believe. I think working on this stuff is relaxing to me but only if I can get a lot done at once. I'm a commercial fisherman so there's no getting paid just for being at work and if we don't produce a big catch then we don't make any money. I think that spills over into everything else I do. Sometimes that hurts my builds because I don't spend enough time on a single part but I am getting better with that...I think
I used to work on cars/trucks but that hobby got too expensive so here I am!
Thanks for all the compliments! They help to keep me motivated too!
