Today was really slow in the shop today, my back is really stiff. I am a little bit more advanced on my project. While surfing TikTok i found a video on how to control weld spatter, it is simply about 3 table spoon of murphy oil soap in a spray bottle of water, works well and it smells great in...

Power stearing fluid, go with the manufacture preference in case you need to use your warranty. One or the other pretty much does the job , but one is colored.

And a little bit more done, little train goes far!

Nice work, body gap is a lot of fiddling

Today i took some rusted parts off , cleaned off the good part to rebuilt and made the inside bracket at the differential crossmember

Finished the front frame horn, capped it! Welded a few factory hole and started removing stuff to fix the back part of the frame

I thought i was going to finish this end today, but i ran out of wire! An other 10 pound on order...

An other bit done!

I did not like how my pocket looked so i took it out and remade it. Look much better now , live and learn, mistakes happen

Depend on your camshaft lift , turn it by hand to see

Coil spring pockets rehab today, not as nice and flowing as the original but the seat is in the same spot, so it should work. Got a few more soft spot fixed. Tedious work

Actually at the front crossmember, wondering how to make the coil spring seat again, i can see the end of this side of the frame, feels good. Also capped the underside of the motor mount. Now at 101 hour 33 minutes

Not much work today since i did not sleep last night, grinding is getting tiresome

Today i fixed my rusty body mount , i plugged the hole where the strearing box dimple was, i made the cross frame brace at the body mount and i welded my piece in

Thanks guys, nice to hear you comment my work. I am no pro, just a fool that know enough lol! More work on my piece of frame today
