Yes Colin,
you have an excellent opportunity to weld in that tunnel now - no need for the rails yet - unless you want to take that on as well...... they will make your ute a lot stronger....
Scotty, it is a very sad state of affairs that I must now reveal to the forum I have only been formally educated to year 9 - I left school at 15 and started work..... still with the same employer (well, almost...... they have changed, but I have remained loyal) ......
I have spent the 40 years hence trying to catch up on some of the schooling I probably should have completed...... might get there before I "fall off the perch"......
frats,
Rosco

Nothing to be ashamed of Rosco, many, many millionares and even billionares in history had little schooling and became successfull people in their time.rosco wrote:Yes Colin,

A lot of the stuff that gets taught in school nowdays doesn't prepare kids for life in the working world anyway.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.
yer were gonna weld it in for sure. and nah were not worried about the rails yet.

good idea keeping the grey, and even better idea keeping on at school. Im 19, i finished yr12 in 2008 but i never did any work so obviously ended up with a mystery mark (below 30).
I'm now back at TAFE re-doing my HSC. Even if you do really well and then decide to do a trade you'll still have it to fall back on.
