I shouldnt even be replying to such crap but im a sucker for decent level headed debates..
Quoted from my Clubgp post...
ok well I suppose I will speak up, but not to defend myself, cause frankly, I dont have to.... moreso to call him back out and to tell me why I am or my welder is a hack lol
...by the way my welder, Ken D, was welding 1970-72 Chevrolet Monte Carlo frames on the assembly line right here at A.O.Smith (now "the hacks" working there build Ford Ranger frames, so dont buy those hacked together pieces of shit either lol) in Milwaukee. Welding for just over 40 years, building hotrod and custom frames for people for over 25 years must not hold a candle to what this man can do. Ken has been putting 454's, 455's, 502's and other 5XXcuin race engines in rods and drag cars for longer than ive been alive without any sort of framing or rollcage problems, I think ill be just fine with my measly little N*.
Anyways the sheet metal he talked about not being welded completely is mearly 20ish gauge metal (tin side paneling if you will) The overlaped boxed-in frame rails were adapted to the stock rails (pinchwelds- mmm quality) that were on the car and therefore no need to reinforce the side panels.
Umm what else was said.... OOOOH the grafting...yes, unless someone can sell me the full frame and body MOLD that they made for my car *(*cough*)* everything has to be grafted at some point...
The whole car, suspensions leveled and all, are within 2-3Millimeters squared. The frame front to rear crossed is off by 1/32nds due to a failing ball joint at 15MPH around a turn in 2000.
So eh its close enough for me.....
please allow me to inform you further upon inquiry about anything else

pat and betterthan, it helps to know what you are talking about when you bash someones car. I dont care if its mine or not cause I really dont care what you think, but for further reference when bashing anyone elses car/project.
