Looking good Don! How did you like using the welding panel clamps? Looks like they worked pretty good.

Grill looks great too!

Happy 4th brother!

Started my million hours of Grinding...
Started with my cutoff wheel to get the top layer knocked down...
This first round of grinding revealed a few areas that will require some additional welding... Gonna have to invest in a bigger gas bottle, to small one just isn't lasting...
Will be visiting HF to get angle grinder this week so I can do some finish work.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

A productive 4th for me...
Got the Oil changed in my wife's DD and my Daughter's car...
Installed a '95 Chrome Grille in my '90 Silverado DD, the grille was a straight across trade with a friend who had it on his '91. He wanted a period correct grille he could paint and add billet inserts, so it worked out for us both
Replaced the broken drive belt on the riding lawn mower...
After all that, it was on to the Grind, Weld, Grind...Repeat process
Here are a few progress pics... Some welds after the initial grind session, Me in action with the new Toy, er... Tool! And after the last grind session today...
Going to do repeat of today this weekend, hopefully for the last time, then onto other areas that need attention...
Just a small bit of progress, but progress nonetheless!!!

Thanks Josh, the new toy is fun, albeit this is turning into the weld, grind, repeat circus as I learn through the process... I need to make a big sign to hang in the shop, that were words of Wisdom imparted by Dr. Bomp... "Slow Down, Think, and Practice, Practice, Practice..."
Congrats to the Daughter on the upcoming Nuptials, and enjoy the Peace that will hopefully follow in the near future.
