Re: Mig Gas

I have a nice 12 yr old Century 110 v gassless. I don't have power to my little workshop so I run a cord from the back of the house where the hot tub used to be.

My new pre runner.

Hi all. I just finished fabbing up my new pre-runner. I used moly tubing and the whole project only weighed in at 30 lbs. The slogan I live by is " With a 2.8, gotta watch the weight" http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/18/aqedazet.jpg [attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1397810522687.jpg[/attachm...

Re: What did you do with your Bronco II today?

Hi all, been working on changing the interior color from faded red to semi-gloss black. Will be going with a new paint scheme in the spring. I am also designing an exhaust system that's never been done as far as I know. Have all the new parts just finalizing the design in my head. I'll keep ya posted.
