Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

thanks Doug. ..I knew these spots of rust would need fixing...there's also a spot below the fuel filler that'll need fixin..that's all I've found on the body that needs attention. ...while trying to remove the trans tunnel the other day I found a section of the tunnel by the shift levers that needs fixed...so I'm happy to have only these small repairs..

its funny if you look at the headboard of the bed where the spot welds are..and see where I ground over the spot welds ,you can see how far the metal is stretched out around the welds...had me scratching my head as to how that could happen...the only thing I can come up with is maybe water got trapped in there and then froze...pushing the metal out...I dunno...

on the helmet I've always had crappy helmets...never would spring for a good one...I finally did and luckily they have a $50 rebate so that helped..
I like everything about it..it feels better than my old one..more comfortable...pretty light weight. . and has a delay on it when you stop the weld..its got 4 arc sensors as well and a ton of settings...
