Hey guys,
Rick and I are having a great time, I took a break and Rick is prepping the mount for final assembly in the chassis. This has been a fun project for both of us I think. We have had a few snags along the way, but I halfway expected that. We had to make a few alterations, which I also halfway expected also, to the plan and construction. When we are done I am sure Rick will post pics of the finished product. As you all know Rick likes shiny things and no sharp edges. So, we spent most of the first day making the raw parts I made all shiny and free of sharp edges and did some planning.
We did a lot of the measurements and early welding yesterday, and got to the point of just welding. That was when we had a snag I wasn't expecting, ran out of argon. I borrowed the tig rig from a friend and apparently his flow-meter leaks. We have my abilities with regular stick to fall back on and we'll get it done later this afternoon.
