truck looks good.

that felt wire cleaner was from the welding supply place. it is a barrel shaped felt with a slice in it to allow the wire to be inserted into the barrel, then a sheet metal style spring goes over the felt to keep it on the wire. it goes on the wire just after the spool but before the feed motor and will naturally follow the wire up until the barrel gets high centered on something that stops it's travel. then the wire simple slips through and gets cleaned at the same time. if you think about it there isn't much time when the welder is running without some grinding operation or whatever going on so it makes sense. cheap too. I'll get a pic later for you.
keep plugging away, literally. haha
