John Wilkins came by last night to help me weld the pieces on. Pretty cool stuff. I had never seen welding before so it was interesting to see it happening. I even did the front right bolts myself. It’s not that difficult to do but…
Painted all of the suspension and rear-end pieces yesterday with the POR-15 that Mark gave me. That stuff does harden like a rock! And it is absolutely true about it not coming off of your hands. I’ve got the tattoo’s now to prove it.Â…
