A few rust problems

I use to do alot of welding but not so much anymore, in the early 90's I worked for a irrigation company installing pumps, centrifugal and turbine and still worked truck repair on weekends.
Right now the only welding I'm doing is a retro fit on 32 of our trailers to add air operated struts to stop dock walk. I will take a photo of the next one I have 10 left to install. In the last
five years I only have the two projects the tow truck I built for the company and my Mack. I know most have seen these photos on other threads I've posted but I will post them again
for the hell of it.

99.9% of the kids today can't tie their shoes, that's why they invented velcro. Just how many do you think could even think of attempting to build a top of line wrecker or copy your Mack?

Still sweet to see a master at work.

I welded the tabs back on and they remounted them

When i built the stack mounts I wished I had a existing frame flange to use but ended up just fabricating the whole thing. Then building a low cab guard for more support higher up the stack,
but I also wanted to cover the lower portion of the cab also.

I do have you beat in one department-I'm much uglier

I wouldn’t know I don’t look in the mirror

That's probably true, I noticed your a little behind on shaving.

I sure hope the owner of the company you work for knows what he has and gives you proper raises, often, and respectable. You work ethic is awesome and your quality even better. I envy your talents.

Thanks, but I don't really consider myself a welder/fabricator because I don't do it for a living day-in day-out.
