Thanks!

The weld beads look great. So the next question is what type of equipment are you using?

Equipment you mean like, what i used to make the braket? I use the equipment we have at my job. I cut the aluminum with,belive it or not,table saw miter saw with blades for cutting aluminum,and we have a miller synchrowave 210

I've taken advantage of this long weekend to continue with the av patrol.my work has been preventing me a little from working on it so i took advantage of this week end to get some work done.
Ive been taking it all apart so i can get to the heart and clean it all up.
My first intentions where to just get it running and drive it for a while but the more i work on it the more complex it gets so o figure might as well just do it right.
This weekend i took all the body bolts and nuts off and separated the body from the chassis. Im so lucky to have a very supportive wife,and she even helped me to remove the body .(also my lil one loves helping me out )
It was a good call,the tranny and transfer case were a ball of grease and dirt of 50 years.
Ive used a blow torch,spatulas and super heavy duty degreaser to clean it all up.id like to clean everything up before i can restore parts.

I love seeing the child labor! It's good for them to learn about cars at a young age!
