« Last post by rob289c on April 14, 2024, 05:52:24 AM »I'm glad yours bolted right up. On the Pacesetter header I bought, I had to heat and beat (basically flatten) the #3 tube to provide clearance between it and the right side frame rail. I also had to remove and re-position the right side brace. It looks cool but I wished it would have been a true bolt-on installation. What I thought should take 15-30 minutes took the better part of an afternoon and it was in a fairly bare chassis!

« Last post by rob289c on April 06, 2024, 07:20:31 AM »We had snow this week but the trend is for improving weather patterns. Hopefully I can transform my Winter storage barn into an operating shop soon. I need to get back on my project so I can get it done this Summer. I have priming and painting to do so I need it to really warm up. There are some other odds and ends I can do until it's warm enough to paint so I will hopefully start posting progress again soon.

« Last post by Wittsend on April 04, 2024, 03:29:42 PM »I just got my welding Co2 tank filled back up after I made the mistake of leaving it on. I welded one wk came back a wk later went to turn the tank on and was like why is it so hard to turn on? Then it hit me to try and turn it the other way. I'm not going to make that mistake again. Luckily its not a very expensive one only $35 to fill back up.
How big is your tank? Mine is roughly a 6" diameter and 24"" tall (less the valve). Back in 2020 it cost me $62 for Argon/Co2. Here in California a bit more than half that cost is the gas itself, the rest are "fees." But, yea, I HATE when the tank is left open. Talk about "throwing your money to the wind." Now I close the valve and check it at least three times and then every day for about three days after. The good news is that (assuming I have closed the valve) I get well over 5 years out of a tank, but that is also a testament to what I'm NOT getting done.

Oh, and also, YET AGAIN I type in the typing pane and it shows as a 10 point font (I left it to be seen - or better said not). Yet when it posts it is tiny to the max! I have to copy the whole text, reset it to 10 point and only then is it correct.
