    I'm 72 years old , living on a pension but you brighten my life. I started working on my own vesicles at around 16. I wish I could work with someone like you as Bill does. Not to make money but to have fun in life. I wish I had the money to buy your merch and help support you and your sweet family. I do subscribe and watch every episode . Thank you for giving me and others something to look forward to watching and God bless you for your military service.
    P.S. Hot Rod reminds me of my granddaughter that I don't get to see. I understand you adopted her? You and your wife are what all people should aspire to be.
    Thank you and God Bless.
    Love Rev. Jeff.

      i love how this grates on the people who want to restore the car to 'concourse' level....
      my brain says " !the car is too far gone for anything close to tbat! you'd spend 100 grand or more and still have something the concourse guys call 'A Junk Car' and it would be worth less than half of that fortune you spent. "
      but Puddin's " MUDcedes " will live on in both Mercedes Snob AND redneck mudding community lore forever. [ the f8rst group turning their noses up and calling it a ' travesty " and the rednecks calling it " the only mudding vehicle fit for a King and Queen" lmao ( ironically both groups are technically saying it belongs in the other group.)

    Hello from the PNW! I'm only 52 years of age but I've found it much easier to square up a square body frame, damaged in the front, by slicing the top and bottom of the c-channel. This leaves only the vertical portion to be moved by BFH and welded. Its amazing how far a frame rail moves over distance.

Need to add covering panels in the back wheel arches for a nice clean look. Its the best uses of a truck bed behind Demo Matt’s Cuda Build. get it finished and go do a meet up at Desperado Ranch.
