Hey DAVE here's some more of what I pass off as fab work for you to laugh at.

Duffil · « **Reply #245 on:** May 10, 2007, 09:24:21 PM »

I went the CTENG route here. I scored this thing barely used and it has way more power than I thought it would. 230v unit.
My new toy:

And the truck:

If you look closely in the truck pics, you will see the rear bar does not meet the fenderwell. These have to make up the difference.

Booty Fab at it's finest!

Duffil · « **Reply #262 on:** May 20, 2007, 08:44:13 PM »
