Realization of Fabrication Potential

able to do it that was always like my thing whenever i was over there helping with something he would go be doing something and i would take it as like a personal challenge to get farther than i think he would expect me to on whatever task he had given me and that was one of them and i did it i welded it up and he welded the feet on because that was a little bit of a different it wasn't a corner joint so i wasn't prepared for that but we put it in put water in it it did not leak i thought man like this is really cool like i need to get one of these things i can weld stuff this opens so many doors and it was then that it kind of clicked like you know i could i could build my own turbo kit i'd i'd go over there sometimes and i'd help him you know he'd be like making headers or something and i'd hold it while he tacked it and i'd i'd always put the helmet on so i could watch him i'd just go over there just to watch him i'd sweep the floor and whenever it came time for her to make something i'd you know run over there and just watch what he was doing because i wanted to learn more about it so that's the actual story of how i learned to weld but we'll jump back to how i met him in the first place it was through a guy named george messer who had a silverado work truck with a ladder rack and it was turbo i met him at a test in tune in 2015 when the escalade still had a converter i wanted to do a cam in it and here's this guy with this truck who's going pretty fast i mean relatively it was running like low 13s at the time and that's kind of like you know it was right in my wheelhouse and i started talking to him about it he's a cool guy and he's like yeah that's winter i just want to do a cam and then that's it it'll be done i was like oh well let me know when you do that like i want to help because i want to learn how to cam an ls motor that was my goal i wanted to learn how to do it from somebody who knew how to do it so i didn't screw it up because i screwed up my big block enough times by not just kind of winging it with some of my friends who were also winging it this guy he's got this turbo truck it's working i want to learn so i put that out there and i didn't hear from him for a couple months and then he sends me a message on facebook because i had offered to like come do the cam up at my garage because then you know he has a place to do it because he said he did all his work outside he's like hey i think uh if it's still on the table like take you up on…
