Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Not a lot happening this week, Supposedly the boy's bud is bringing me Wheel money tomorrow… time will tell...

After some cleaning and rearranging in the shed… I grabbed the spare tire carrier and was going to prep for paint when I realized my crappy weld job on the axle flange, as well as the mess the plasma cutter left, was going to require some attention...

Here's where I ended up, still need to do some weld grinding on the cover (which ended up being a ceiling fan hanger cover) and then paint the whole shebang...

It turned out just fine in the end Don.

I still need to see it mounted as I cannot visualise it in place.

Great work brotha! I like the look of the top arms under the bed rail instead of on the top.

Not much done today, started out pulling carpet outta our closet and putting down some wood laminate flooring… One of the projects my beautiful wife reminded me still needed to be done… I did our bedroom floor back in the spring… After that I did a bit of shed cleaning...

Here's a pic of the next small project…. Not sure if I'll make one of both project trucks, or just the one… Any guesses???

While doing some shed cleaning and re-arranging I also found this…

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

No idea what your sat two pics will end up becoming, or were before. Suspect the handle is a rare thing?


I also noted....... Over 100k views !!

Not bad for a "Budget Build" read.

Took my 2 pistons by a local repair shop, and $1 and a few minutes later I had the Rods and Pins pressed out… Now to visit my friend with the Plasma Cutter to lighten the pistonz…
