Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Once again the shop was full of grinding dust. At least until it dawned on me that it was actually a beautiful day outside and I opened up the garage doors to let in some fresh air. Firewall is now largely gone. Added a few more braces to hold the remaining parts of the cab in position. I really love the MIG welder for this kind of stuff. With the TIG, you have to be in a relatively stable position since you need to use both hands. The MIG only requires that you be in the general vicinity and pull the trigger until you get a weld pool that extends onto both parts. It's ugly but it's fast.
I plan to transport the cab to the blaster with the windshield in place and remove it once the cab's loaded on the roll around cart they use in the shop. Still need to do a couple of things ...remove the ashtray and clean up some remaining seam sealer. But I'm really close on the cab. Next up is disassembling the chassis.
