Pat Guest will be continuing the beginner welding sessions in May at his home in Valparaiso IN. It is called Beginner welding since he has no idea how to do it but has several welding projects on his car and is asking anyone interested in learning with him to contact him at 219-718-7718. The next scheduled date is May 25. The goal is to finish installing the sills and floor plates.
