Yeah, that isn't the issue for me (not my thing, but to each their own) Its the fact that he wants $6000 for something that really isn't that special (its not a turbo, it doesn't have 4-wheel discs, etc.) with questionable mods and poorly done paint job (check out the engine bay and door jams) is kinda silly, IMO.

As a kid, our mail man drove a 1959 Ford wagon with two steering wheels, you could see the chain & sprocket near the dash

Not technically welding. The base metal is not molten and fused. That is known as "fillet brazing" it is for some reason called "Bronze welding" in the UK.

If you can solder, you can do that.

The preferred way to build bicycles. It used to be a common way to assemble cages as well. I learned brazing before I learned welding. Like anything else in the world, it takes practice. It's much easier to squirt it on with a mig.

How is it applied? I used to do what I call "braze" with a torch but mine never looked like that.

Mandatory hotlink:

OK, and then I look up and there's a dude with a torch and a stick of brass rod.
