Got some panels made for the rear wall. I was lucky enough to pick up an aluminum sponser. The floor pieces are 14G diamond plate.:bling:

I also threw some more tube at the rear of this thing.:beer:

Only the door bars are poopers (black crap). The uprights/Bpillars are 2inch .25 wall dom. The rest is HREW str8 from NWS&P.:corn:

Not with this thing, but the Stomper works fine and likes to pull.

I have a dually, just not a 10,000# trailer to haul it. It weighs abaout 7500#.

I mannaged to get a pair of 5500 axles just havent had time to build the new trailer. I have been spending all my spare time on the buggy. It sounds like fun though!:cheer:

I can move the radiator about 5 inches in both directions. In the pics it has tabs bolted to it but not tacked on the chassis. I have to go to get some parts in town tomorow and am goin to stop at the wrecking yard and peep out some fans and pick a winnar. then I can burn on the rad mounts once fan clearence is established.:awesomework:

brad I like your work, and any one can pick apart my welds, but you were hauling ass on those beads. you had the right heat, but lacked the penetration because of speed, Slow down a bit bud :awesomework:

That was on sheet metal. I left the machine/POS way up from an earlier project. It is spooled up with .035 wire. I then just stitch welded to get that stacked dimes look that folks like. Its actually a shitty cold row of spot welds good for not much more than shavin door handles. :redneck:

I usually have my ancient machine cranked up and weld hot. Its a POS from the 70s. It contains no circut boards or electronics, just a power supply and a feeder motor. Basicly the same setup as a diesel arc welder and a feeder suitcase and gas, just in one box. I need to get a new machine someday.:awesomework:
