grind a nice weld prep in that crack on both sides, hammer it flat, burn it on both sides, grind it smooth, and never have to think about it again.
Yes, I needed a retirement project to keep me out of trouble! Can't mow or cut firewood all the time. I'm leaning toward a SB Chevy, LS, or Vortec engine. More cruise or local car show type build. It really is a clean slate. No seat, engine and trans removed, bed off. I have a covered place to park it with a dirt floor, but the bats roost there in summer and poop all over anything I store in there. I do also have a nice garage with a lift, but I need that to change oil and for winter parking. I'm really over rolling around on the floor at my age. Standing up to work on vehicles is what keeps me going.
