Good afternoon everyone, one of the great things about this hobby and the great people that keep it alive is that we help each other and always try to pay it forward.
Thank you John(Opentracker), for teaching me your bad arse welding skills. I remember clearly how, once I started to get the hang of it, I really felt like I was a kid at the candy store and my parents had told me I can have all the candy I wanted :yah.
All of John's generosity, wisdom and PATIENCE has helped motivate me to want to pay it forward.
Ian(Joyr1der) had contacted me a week ago in regards to some welding pointers, so, today he came over to visit Fred and I as well as throw down a welding lesson. Craig also had some time and came by to say hello and chat for a little while(Always good to see you Craig).
I did everything in my capacity to mimic everything that John had taught me, we focused on setup, technique followed by practice practice practice.
We had a really good time and he did awesome. I was really really happy to have been able to help out another fellow Mustang'er and can't wait to do it again.
He was making very quick progress
Almost there, pretty darn farking good if you ask me
Another half hour to an hour more of practicing and he was going to be way better than me
I had a really great time hanging out with Ian and chatting about life and its twist and turns it likes to lay before us. I really enjoy our hobby a lot, but I have to say that I enjoy the people that make this hobby what it is even more(I have yet to drive a vintage anything so I will report back once I actually drive Fred, LoL).
