Bob, all of the planning and thinking are done (for the most part), now it’s time to get to work

Last week I thought the frame was ready for blasting and paint. Sunday evening I remembered I had purchased some frame strengthening plates for the steering gear box area. These frames are notorious for cracking in this area and my frame was no exception. I couldn’t get time to weld them in during the week, so I spent this morning and afternoon burning them in. Considering my welder is probably on the edge of its capabilities and I am not well practiced at in the art of hot glueing metal, it turned out okay

Now it’s ready for blasting and paint. I almost didn’t borrow enough trailer. The frame is 16’ 1”.

Not an extremely productive weekend. But progress was made.

Tomorrow evening I will deliver the frame for blasting and paint.
