Decided to build some SFC which turned out cool. Some of you probably seen these on TGO but here they are.
Blue of course. 
Then decided it was time to build a new torque arm and I must say it was quite the challange. Hope I never need to do it again.
Once again Blue is the color of choice.
I liked Spohn's so that is what I used for the idea. |

Rodney, You've SERIOUSLY impressed me with that Torque Arm. I'm going to have to buy you a drink next time I see you. VERY well done dude!  |

Thanks guys, now if it doesn't break in half the first time I nail the gas I'll be set.
Jess, the relocation brackets showed up last week, thanks man. Now I just have to rewire my amp and mount it in the back, weld on the brackets, and change the clutch. Ordered my Centerforce this morning so that should fix the slipping problem. Wound up getting alot of my wishlist filled this winter plus saved enough on the torque arm and SFC to almost pay for the welder.  |

Thanks Paul, I'll take a Fat Tire. 
Have you burned any thing with your new welder yet? |

Fat Tire it is!
Heheh ACTUALLY... I kind of burned John's chair's making them "Bart-Proof" And now his chairs are hardcore 70's style, they've got a rake!
I'll post tomorrow my progress on the current project  |

As long as it's not yourself. I was re-welding some exhaust hangers on Dad's car, and I don't have my leather jacket yet.
I guess you could say I had a brief identity crisis as I was a flamer.  |

Yeah, someday I will get some leathers but for now I prefer lighting up a good flanel shirt.
When I was tacking some of this together under the car I would just close my eyes and make a tack weld. Worked great until one of those million degree bb's went up my nose while I was on my back. Made it about half way down my throat before it finally cooled off. That hurt. After that I seriously considered finding some ear plugs and shoving them up my nose. |
