And I'm stupid, non ferris metals is metal without iron.

Needless to say the bad saw cut 1/16 of am inch before the blade was spent.

I used the chop saw with metal cut of wheel to cut what I needed it was tedious and difficult to keep the angles straight and accurate.

I tacked up some supports to the frame and I'm getting close to final burn in.


Some parts showed up. These will be altered some before bolting on In Order to fit the wheel base better. I might also add flares.

I got a new grill in as well.

Late night start, but my brother Inlaw, Rod Whitaker came over to start the final welds, he finished up the front end and a few roll cage tie in points, Monday he will finish weld the rear spring stays.

Thanks Rod.
