Yup, Dynasty 200DX, it's kinda hidden in that pic sitting behind the plasma cutter, it sits on top of the water cooler for the torch, that is the biggest improvement, so much nicer to use and actually saves me money in the long run since I'm not blowing through torches and gas lenses from all the expansion and contraction. It's a great welder setup and does a good job on things up to 0.25 (even though its "rated for .5"
). I would love to add a MIG to the top of that cart, the 211 range, but the TIG does everything so I can't justify the addition.
We would like to stay in Oregon as long as possible, we love it here. No matter what, we are not moving back into the state that is NY, I plan to never even drive this truck in that state during the wintertime as well.
Original color, will match the VIN code that way.
Going to stick with the tan, I like the color (classic 80s) and it's easier than changing it completely (you know me, I would have to paint every bit inside and out
trying to save myself the aggravation)
Yeah, the cash hurts..... a lot.
But it's still way cheaper than a new car, or even a good used car. At this point we have over the years collected almost everything we want/need as far as goodies are concerned. This build, while fairly extensive is mostly working with what I already have.
I'll keep track of all the expenses and post that up for a reality check once it's all set, but the pretty drivetrain parts have set us back $800 with the powder coat and sand blasting, that is a ton of money, but there are a ton of parts there, and they are not throw-away parts either, these are cable locking diffs, full floating rear axles and shafts, all the control mechanisms, so in my mind preserving them is worth it.
I just have to keep telling myself that the money is much less than a new car, and the time is for the benefit of my sanity.
Your friendly local orthodontist, works great.
