[FRIZZLEFRY]

Not alot of progress this week.I have only had two hours to work on it at the shop.Its all wired up pretty much and I cranked it.But I cant start it cuz I still need a radiator and a fuel tank.

I brought the passenger front fender to work today so I could patch up some rust damage

That rig is going to be absolutely amazing!! The transformation is almost complete.

So will we see it in the Little Sluice again?

Killer welds

thats what i noticed also, not trying to make a mig weld look like a tig weld is good stuff.

As of now I am saying no.But I want to take it to the Hammers for its maiden voyage

That was one of the last trips on my Dana 44 .I got it fixed and blew it up again at aCalrocs deal in Placerville a month later Then I got my 60 That pic was in 03 wasnt it?

This was 04,

In 05 I broke my tranny in half and didnt make it to the Sluice;p But I made it through last year ...with some help

And I think a good question would be will I ever see your rig on the trail??

You gonna make the Rubicon trip this year?With your junk?

you seen the tack tack tack thread on Pirate?I think thats a bull sh*t technique.If you want tig looking welds,tig it I like smooth consistant beads with good penatration when it comes to mig welding.Not that I get it perfect every time,but I try

So is it bad that my weld doesnt have the little crescents in it?

Almost no progress this week.Fooled around with the seats,radiator mounting,and throttle cable.

Seats

I needed a ball for the t cable to snap on to.What was on the carb is on the left,the ball thingy is on the right.I sorta combined the two

And the lower rad mount.It will be lined with 1/4" rubber

And a shot with the blower ;p
