Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

What is it they say about "the best laid plans of mice and men" ? I thought by tonight the final welding would be done on all the frame brackets, and it would be sitting up on wheels, unsupported. Well, I blew the car apart, back down to a bare frame and did all the grinding so we could finish welding it all, an we got started on the first plate and bung, and the mig tank ran out of gas. Dan just had it filled last Friday, so they evidently gave us an empty bottle. He noticed as soon as he put the new bottle on that the gauge was registering zero, but he thought we had another bad regulator. No such luck.

Not only did it screw up my day, it messed up his too, as he was planning to hit it real hard on his '29 and try to get some key stuff welded. Now he won't get another chance until next week. Anyway, here are some shots of the way we are going to do the wishbone mounts. The last picture is of the only one we got welded before the gas ran out. He was wondering why the bead didn't lay down as nice as he wanted, now we know........migs don't work real well without gas.
