Just because you have a few Craftsman tools, it dosen't mean your a craftsman.

Dad swears we could use one around the house like that. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | The firewall is a lot stronger than the back. Just make sure you cushion it with some wood and brace the door frame if you are going to weld in new metal so it doesn't go out of shape.
