Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

We have been using that same Miller welder for over a year now and really like it. We had some fun building a cart for it. Here is the post of the cart

I have been stalking this build from the beginning. Great job on your build and thank you for the continued motivation/inspiration. Rou

Thanks, and yes, there is a local liquor store that is looking for a beat up mini shopping cart.

The small extinguisher is designed to buy me time to get to the big one on the wall.

As a firefighter, I know how fast things can go bad, particularly with sparks flying around our 130 year old barn.

I'm not really sure you can top the most popular model, building something that didn't exist that most agree is a more useful truck, and doing it well.

I'll probably drag the interior out 6 more months, so I'll guess over 400,000 views. Wow, I think I must have struck a gold mine of interest.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I built windows for another remodel phase on my house tonight, so no progress on the truck. I can hit it Friday afternoon and some on Sunday.

It has been raining here a lot, so I still haven't gotten a video of the beast driving yet. It's supposed to quit raining Wednesday, so maybe then.
