Powder Keg:
Just a reminder for everyone to be careful when your working on your stuff. We were moving the bed front today and that I beam slipped off the saw horses it was sitting on. It would have hurt the lead for my TIG welder if it hadn't hit my foot.  :doh: :doh: :doh:

 :worthless:



I'll probably live

AdeV:
Nice looking bends there - and the metalwork ain't bad either  :lol:

Look on the  bright side - your foot will heal for free, whereas if you'd damaged the TIG leads you'd have been paying $$$ to replace them...

Powder Keg:
A quick update. A little slow going around here. Still limping around. I did install some new shocks a couple days ago. Just some Monroe's but they should make the ride a little smoother. I might get some parts for the rear bumper cut out today. We'll see:o)

I think they'll be nice to use when I get them done:o)

Yes, but 4 of those 8 are optional!

I grew up around wrecking yards and mechanic shops and it wasn't uncommon for the 'work' vehicles to have half the lug nuts, share one battery and require fuel to be siphoned from another before driving!

Good work there Wes - keep it going.

Powder Keg:
I managed top get the steps all built and bolted up. What a job!



I capped the square tube to make it look a little better. You cant see the brace underneath. It bolts from the square tube to the truck frame.



Getting closer\o/ I like how the wood steps look.



 I need to make some tabs to weld to the grill. Then it will be bolted on. Then back onto the rear bumper with swing out tire carrier.

Thanks for watching,

~Wes~
