test fit

 

just primed top of bed

 

air compressor and I have been trimming out a house more this week

 

Just saying I used to have a 110V flux core machine, It was stolen so I got a 220V with shield gas. Much better welds and the ability to do some heavier metal. A friend does jobs like power plants and refinerys. At the end of the job they sell all of the equipment. If only I had the $.

 

I have to catch this up sept1 the tub was removed from the frame . it sat on the roll bar and sawhorses while I plug welded the rear floor in. now it sits on the passenger side so I can weld all I can get to . the a supports in the front by the engine and master cylinder are history working on some 2inch angle for replacement so far so good . the frame was pressure washed . I paid special attention to where I have heard of cracks so far so good on that no cracks but the fame was boxed in all around the engine Is this stock????

 

old and new
