hopefully i can make enough weekly progress to keep my interest up ! Sweet, i'll check it out!

actually, i am seriously considering a flatbed for it!

here's a link to the website of the company that makes these welders: http://www.thermadyne.com/thermalarc/about-us i've never seen a problem out of them.

yeah i'm not a fan of v8's.... here's the 40 ford that's going on it:

it's a 5.9 turbo diesel made by Iveco. basically a cummins copy. cummins helped them develop it.

So my first step is to remove the cab from teh body of the Iveco. I plan on keeping the wiring harness and transferring it into the body of the 40 ford along with the iveco instrument cluster. so here is phase 1 : the iveco still starts and runs at this point. i'm going to yank the cab...

they are capable of flux or gas welding.

Most napa stores should have this deal available. I'm posting for KY, as that's where I live. These are american made top quality welders, on par with the big names everyone likes.

exactly, it takes a lot longer to do a job when everyone is talking and going back and forth; way too distracting.

I have a couple good reliable friendsnwhonwouldnhelp whenever, since I always do the maintenance on their trucks, but usually I like to be alone. I used to be a mechanic, so I still have that flat rate mentality so I prefer to work hard and fast without much discussion or interaction. Buddies...

looks awesome!

thanks guys. I hope to get time to get to work on some cab removal this weekend. it's sooooo damn hot though! i'm ready for fall!

Well, I finally did it. decided to go a complete different direction from all my previous projects. I'm a huge fan of anythying with wheels and a motor; if it's modded and done well, I like it. I don't prefer one type of style to another, which is why i've been into 4x4's, sportbikes, detroit...
