    [​IMG]this frame was pretty poorly built and unfinished when I got it. Doing my best to fish plate the seams and finish the tail section. 8 hours of welding got it done. I also shortened the tail frame horns 4". They looked a little too long to me.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    KICK ***!!!! Those little jobs like just cleaning up a frame and then it takes eight hours is par for the course. Looks as if its all worth it though.

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG] My big brother Dave came over and gave me some schooling on paint. Huge difference between me and him the 20+ years of professional painting experience is easy to see when I watch him work.
