Did it with a short chain in the seat belt bolt holes and welded some steel tube in the door opening to prevent flex.

Later took a break with the kids for some Shaved Ice

I don't see any orange Broncos w/ burnt hoods in the background. Did you ever finalize the deal on that one?
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the paperwork to clear so it gave me this weekend to do the bronco shuffle and make room for it. Taz and I worked into the night to get the tub off and mobile, I built a slick dolly for it, Actually just bolted on some 6" wheels and casters to it so it's easy to move around. We'll get that rolling chassis under the blue tub in the background today and maybe start it up. I don't want to get stuck with stuff I can't move by myself so everything is on wheels or dollys, that way I can roll it into the neighbors yard if I need to. ;D

What a racket....paying off your helpers with shaved ice. Looks like you're all having fun. Sounds like Taz is really starting to get into learning the good stuff. It's nice being able to spend that time with your son. At the rate you're going you could start a restoration business.

Positioning rolling chassis to go under another tub.
Trying to get it high enough to fit.


It's getting hot today. We had to take a break.

I'm glad to hear it's gonna work out for you. Looks like you already have your hands full. Need some help? I'm cheap labor. Room Board and Shaved Ice is good for me. ;D ;D ;D

Mad,

I feel a whole lot better about myself when I DON'T read your threads. You get WAY too much done and you're WAY too talented for my self esteem.
