Who welded it for you? That can’t be one of your welds
True, i NEVER said "i welded" it!
I have a friend that does real high end welding.
Exotic materials, exotic gasses, ya know NASA type shyt. He makes look easy, and makes me feel stupid. He banged it out in a coupla minutes.
Hes got his eye on a surface plate that i no longer use.....

fun to see how long the sherade could last.

Does that make you real fun to ride in a car your driving
yeah! Exactly! When l drive all the cars around me are constantly honking horns in approval. I smile and wave, its a great time.

Actually i had to give up driving. I can't see well enough. I don't own a pavement pounder any more.
better to go out on top than have my licnse revoked.
Son in laws scored a coupla f...'n nice vehicles.

Remember the Naughtagator (not-a-gator)?
shown here after complettion and before all the equipment was added.

For those newbies, that is my yard/utility kart. Think Deere Gator. Yeah, its not.
after operating at 200% of the rated GVWR of the trans axle, for a couple years it was time for "new" one
So I found one and a ridem mower that donated that transaxle. that was a way longer project than expected.
That with a tractor repair that took forever, and a diesel truck project, all happening at once my fun projects have been on hold.
If ya ever considered one of the delete/tuner kits for yer oil burner, DO IT! it is the single best Mod EVER!
What a difference!
Said pickemup:

That thing was a pulling monster before the mod but now, holy shyt!
That old beast has something trucks today don't have, a third pedal.
Since I can no longer drive I passed it on to my son in law #1 with the promise he would be shot in his sleep if he ever got rid of it.
So, I got back to work on the buggy. Todays project gas tank.

Got a chance to drive a Ram 3500 crew cab diesel 4x4 DRW 5-speed way back in the 90's. Black. You could put it in 2nd gear, let out the clutch, it would just pull away, no throttle. Some people aspire to own sportscars, this is my Huckleberry.
