I've been heavy into searching out abandoned vehicles in what I would call Central-Southern Ontario. The majority of those that I've found have been GM trucks, which were all made in Oshawa.
My good friend is a GM trained technician and is super brand loyal. He has helped me with my cars over the last 10+ years and saved me a pile of money. So I decided to make him something unique for his home shop.
I'm super new to welding but I thought this would be a great way to increase my skills. Everything I used was upcycled from my grandfather's barn. My welds weren't as tight as they could have been when I first started but they did get better.
Here is the finished product:
