Looks Good Div. Just one thing to note...for safety reasons its good to have a light on the side of the vehicle to let other road users know that you are turning. Having a indicator lens in the front only may not be enough. Since you not done yet. I have sure you still have plans in that regard. Thank you for sharing. It takes time to make a good video. I have been trying to make a video, I find making a good video is more difficult that actually doing the work.
Man, rat trucks are not exactly built to comply to latest safety standards... besides, it's bigger and harder than these modern crumple zones on wheels 😄. Ja, making videos takes quite a bit of effort, but I enjoy it
From this video its obvious you have good equipment to weld sheet body steel.... Im looking to do the same thing in South Africa. May I ask what make your welder is as Im looking to buy local... plus what gas mix are you using?
Very nice results! Tony from "Fitzee's Fabrication calls that method the cut and butt. He does some great work too

As they use to say in the 70s here in the states when that truck was built: "Keep on Truckin!"

Life's way too short to be sanding Bondo! Amen Brother!!
Welcome to the club! 😂
If you have a air compressor, you can use air to cool off the metal. Less warping.
Awesome job
Thanks!
Nice 👍
