No. I wanted to but I am scared of jail. I am the type of guy that will really hurt someone badly if I ever fight. I just can't do it.

 

yeah true. Did he pay back for it though? geez that'd piss me off so much.

 

Yay hot weather!

I like to weld in the hotter weather because the welds cool slightly slower. Not sure if I am right but I think it is stronger if you cool welds slowly. Anyway I have my notches in and now I am gonig to make crossmembers. I also ordered some Konig 19's today. Here are some pics of the progress:

My best weld yet!:

3/16" pipe inside the notch to reinforce:

Both notches in before being fully plated:

 

hey dude guess wat??? your welds are getting better and better...keeep it up bro looking nice!

 

crossmembers

I worked on it some more today. Here's pics:

 

Tomorrow I weld the underside.

 

Lots of progress! Nice work!

 

Lookin real good man! I envy your patience on the rust repair! I originally did the back half for the lux cuz i didn't feel like sanding off the surface rust!

 

Seeing as it is my first mini build, I figured, what better way to learn than on a pos rustbucket. That way if I mess it up it will not be too much of a loss. I had to go with some MSR rims. 087 black 20x7.5 with +40mm offset. I hope they fit snug. Should be close.

 

Very nice , its coming along pretty fast. I think every weld is getting better and better. Keep it up and keep us posted.

 

looks like the metal fused very nicely. are you using an arc or mig?

 

It's a MIG. It's in one of the pics.

I'm still working on my truck whenever I can. Here is a pic of the current state of it:

 

Im thinking of spraying my truck simialr to the blue you have.
If someone touched my truck after its painted, and even scratched it, they will pay. When i first bought it, some young idiots threw something at me when i cruised past them, i almost stopped to take em all on. Even though my truck was dinted and rough at the time. Haha. I probably take to much pride in it.

 

Other people have little respect for our trucks. I used to give all my friends rides and they did unspeakable things to my poor little truck.

 

yep, i know what you are saying.
I was parked up agaisnt a wall, My mate jumped onto the hood and scrambled over, cos he couldnt be bothered walking around, and i cracked it at him. idiots.

 

Dukes of hazzard move. Always wanted to try that. Ya friends can really mess some crap up.

 

That's why you make new body panels out of 3/16th steel lol.

 

Well there you go problem solved. Intill they find something else to **** up.

 

Shave EVERYTHING
