However it can be welded, Hot rodders and rock crawlers alike cut, bend, weld and customize thier frames all the time.

Got an estimate from a place yesterday after work. They seem to know what they're doing. $500-$800; probably $700. They were talking about mig welding in some reinforcement plating and plug welding a bit. I have two more places I want to talk to in the coming week.

My truck is ready! Yay! I got a call yesterday around 4:00pm, didn't answer, checked the message at 10:00pm to find out it was the shop. Doh!
I'll go pick it up after work today and hopefully have some pictures tomorrow. I hope they did a good job.....

But he wants it to be pink.
I can use bold too 
Oh yeah, my truck has a history too. You see, some robotic people made it, then this dude bought it, then traded it in, then I bought it. Is that cool or what?!?!

Just my opinion, but the pink looks better than the stupid setting. I will never get the fun out of that. But then, some don't see the point of drag racing.
