Paying it forward paid off!!

I'm selling off a lot of my bikes to fund a select few that I plan to build or keep. Just across the RR tracks from my house is a small, but outstanding, hot rod shop. He helped me out with metal and welding on the folding Taxi bike I did last year. I decided that I would give him , Steve, my Western Flyer I call my "Red Hot Rod". Already long story short, he was thrilled and took it for a spin. He came back with a big smile on his face! While we were talking about it and my upcoming builds, and more specifically, what I want to do for BONINE. I think my welding delimma for my frame is no more!! I think I can get a crash course in welding so I can fix my frame!! YEA!! A little kindness goes a long way sometimes. Here's the WF in front of a killer truck at the shop:

It's set the mood for the rest of the day. It's a beautiful day and I'm excited that I get to build the bike I wanted for BONINE!!

And yes.....that C10 is killer. With the exception of the wheels, tires and lowering, it's original.

I've been wanting to learn how to weld for real for awhile now. My schedule makes going to school difficult, and I've always been told that if I REALLY want to learn how to do it, learn from someone that's been welding for years. He's been hand building hot rods for as long as I can remember so I'm thinking I could probably learn a thing or two from him.......
