I might try your idea Mac. with some long hair filler. here is todays work. I decided to go with a bolt on for simplicity. cut a step in a nut and then welded it into the wheel. the rest is obvious. I could incorporate some of those stainless bolts into the filler as well[S

Hey Torchie, thats an interesting idea[S

steering wheel I cut the centre section out and lathed a disk, transferred three bolt pattern to the disk and welded the disk into the middle of the steering wheel remains. Flipped the wheel and ground off the finger grips. I plan to fill/repair the cracks and paint it black. Bit of work on the...

The hardest part is making the cut. :mad:

It's three inch DOM rube sections in mine.

So I took some inspiration from MetalMansSweden and made a louver tool to hand bump louvers one at a time. Tool turned out all right and I show improvement on three louvers. [cl Its 18 G steel scrap that I have been hammering on a sand bag. You hammer out one then move it ahead to the second...

This thing makes welding easy. [cl

Still liking these things. You might be able to charge different voltage on separate banks with the four bank. Getting it to switch to six volt is different than the single. I am maintaining eight batteries this winter. Four six volt and four twelve volt. I finally let the batteries in my 03...

Thanks Guys. Ever since the hood went on for the first time the sharp corner looked wrong. Took a while to see a solution and get the skills to execute it. Thanks to a bunch of guys here inspiration came along.

Saw this on metal meet forum. posted by a guy who goes by Joefish. I'm going to give it a try. There is a lot of torque multiplication going on here. will be slow.... but so am I. I will try and find a permanent magnet wiper motor from a old Chev.

It is always tough to see one of our babies go down the road and someone else making changes to it. This is the first time I have been choked up when someone else baby is rolling away. Truck looks great Torchie. Be proud. You did good work. Lets hope someone buys her and treats her right.

I didn't like the sharp 90 degree angle between the front of the cab and the bottom of the hood. Always made the lines look wrong. So.. this is what I came up with. I think it makes the lines flow a lot better.

last ride of the year Snow is here and it is time to put the bike away and get back to work on the 49. We had a long summer and I put a lot of miles on the bike this year. did a few upgrades as well. but it is back in storage until the snow leaves in spring and I am back in doing some fabrication.

Hey Torchie. Sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. Sounds like she was good people.

That's an awesome Dodge and dog!

latched Simple pin latch inside the box to keep the tail gate area nice and clean.

The four bank will only charge one voltage. I can't charge six and twelve volt batteries at the same time. Took me me bit to figure that out..... :rolleyes:

Hey Bruno, thanks for reminding me. That deal came with the cart as well.
