Hello I'm Tim and build old Dodge trucks and Mopar muscle in general. Always interested in improving my working knowledge of anything related to those vehicles. I race a 72 Charger circle track and a 1950 Pilot-House at Bonneville. I did the majority of welding on both those vehicles using Mig and ARC welding. That of course led me to Tig. I purchased a Syncro 200 a few years ago and realize I'm not using it to its potenial, so here I am!

Hello 48dodger. I helped a friend restore a '53 Dodge pick up quite a few years ago. It was pretty rough when we started but in the end it turned out quite nice. It was a lot of work and our pace was slow due to lack of finances at the time.
