He sure has, and what's with the wood slat build on the Jeep trailer frame? Don't know that I've ever seen that done before.

Who's 2A in the back ground? ? You holding out on us? The old man’s, still working to repair the cracked frame. That’s where I plan to put the exhaust manifold, if the repair works that is! He sure has, and what's with the wood slat build on the Jeep trailer frame? Don't know that I've ever seen that done before. It was something I put together out of a what was left from a bent boat trailer, junk metal, left over Jeep springs, and axle spindles. I never did get around to sealing the wood like I planned, so it’s really turning gray now....

My oldest son welds cast iron I'm not sure how or what he uses, but he sure does it well. Professor you'll have to keep us posted how it does.

If not, I have your number Oh, here’s another trailer shot... It has become one of my handiest Willis accessories. With the weather cooling off nicely, I’m almost in the mood to disappear for a few days in the woods with the jeep, dog and .22....

Honestly, I’m flying by the seat of my pants. I’ve learned the hotter I preheat with the propane burner, and get the oxy/acetylene torch set with a ever-so-slight carbonizing flame, the better the brass will flow and control.
