Working on junk almost daily

Re: Working on junk 12/5-7

I just want to apologize to Billy because he came on the day when we weren't using the gas axe and we weren't adding tube back, it was the boring prep-the-junk-for-tube day of hammering the pinch seam and figuring out what to trim back after the major cutting was done.

Going to be back at it on the morning of January 10th, from whenever we walk Rocky dog until probably 2:00-2:30 or so. I'd think an 8:30 start.

LOL at in-focus pictures of my junk! My car is fuzzy!

I should actually be getting some shop time in tomorrow, it's probably going to be really cold. Maybe I'll weld something.

Good luck, Cold?
It's snowing here, glad I got Combination gasket done before snow came.

P.S. I have no garage,
a plastic toboggan works well as a creeper on the ice.

What are you going to be using to skin the boat sides?

Not much that's really visible, but Liz starts classes and studying next week so I'm going to try to hit it hard nightly after work, and then she has Saturday classes stating February 28th.

What are you going to be using to skin the boat sides?

Opie was trying to get me to use 3/16" aluminum, but I'm leaning towards much thinner steel so I can just weld it on, and increase the weld area to the frame. Some plate gussets might do the same thing though? We'll see. The rear suspension project is currently more a priority.

I should be hitting it Saturday morning, probably get like 8 hours in if I'm lucky. I'll probably push the axle back under it.

Links.

Which I do NOT suggest for full body rigs.

Mine is pushing it.

Edit: I'm going to be working on this most every Saturday, it's looking like, until it makes it to Lower Proving Grounds.

Re: Working on junk 12/5-7

1/2" schedule 40 pipe will thread right into whatever size tube adapters I have. And, you can get lengths of it already threaded on each end at Lowe's. Saves much time over having to weld the tube adapters into the links.
