#WELDLIKEAPRO

What a difference 6 years can make… Jon Dillard started as a frame-off hot rod restorer with basic MIG welding skills. Flash forward to today and @thereal_jondillard can now call himself an accomplished TIG welder. He modestly thanks his grandfather, a longtime friend, and Welding Tips & Tricks for their guidance. Jon’s love for mechanics started as a young boy when he watched his grandfather wrench on motor vehicles. When Jon needed help TIG welding on a hot rod, he called his friend, Chris Neal. Jon says, “I watched through my welding helmet, saw the process, and was hooked! Chris actually turned me onto the Arc-Zone Gas Lens when I started welding stainless.” After losing a close friend in a motorcycle accident, Jon began working on his friend’s car as a tribute and memorial. Like most of us, welding became an outlet for Jon; a way to focus and build something beautiful out of nothing. He’s inspired to achieve the impossible, and his beautiful wife, Shannon, and their two kids are his motivation. Cheers to The Real Jon, and those out there who modestly flip down their hoods each day in the hopes of laying down that perfect bead.
