I bust out the ol MIG welder sometimes doing autobody jobs sometimes
For example, last month I did some work on an old 1972 el camino dude wanted fixed up. Had to do alot of work, fucking car is in my nightmares....
The floor was absolutely fucked, rotted threw in several spots. Mig welded some sheets of metal to patch it up. Im not the most skilled welder, so lucky me its covered up with new carpet that I put in
Car is lookin pretty snazzy now. Sanded that fucker for a billion hours and painted it up. Put all new chrome on the outside since the old shit was ruined, WELDED in the floors, new carpet new seats, looking nice! Made a fortune doing it lol
Ive done some stick welding here and there as well....last time I did stick welding was on a ramp truck couple months ago.
All for nothing: After I finised, the next week the guy who owned it and another guy were driving on the highway, lost control and flipped it down a steep hill. Truck FLATTENED, driver DEAD from skull crushed. Too bad he was a decent guy that Ive worked with alot. The owner who wasnt driving, lived but got rekked pretty bad. Still in the hospital.
