I would kind of like to see some more of that mid-60's Chevy II/Nova in the back corner.:D Mike.

Looks great. Progressing nicely. Mike.

NICE!!:thumbs: Mike.

I was able to spend some time in the shop last night and got some more work done on my utility trailer project. I mocked up the tongue, decided on a tongue length and welded the coupler on, then took a pie cut out of the sides and 45- degreed the ends with caps. The 45-degree ends with caps...

The best injector cleaner I have used is made by BG Products called 44K. I have had a vehicle sitting in my shop while running that had a miss due to one injector not putting out a complete spray pattern(throttle body system) and while sitting there running the idle was noticeably getting...

Subscribed. Love a trailer build thread.;) I too just ordered my axle from Henderson but I went the torsion style because it won't see off-road. Like already mentioned, the basic measurement you need is the hub to hub width. With a spring axle the mounts are negotiable once you get the axle...

Subscribed. 5-pages in are we going to see some progress soon?:D Mike.

Subscribed. Great looking build, nice selection of parts and great fitup of the tubes. Let's see some weld porn now.:D Mike.

Thanks for the compliments guys. This was my first time trying to video tape my welding. It is harder than I thought trying to work around the camera and capture everything. I hope it was beneficial to you guys. There have been a lot of questions and/or debating lately about this technique...

No problem. I hope I did a good enough job explaining. This video stuff is new to me and it is taking me a bit to get the hang of it. Mike.

My wife bought me a Miller Big Window Elite about 8 or so years ago and although I don't use it very often, it is a nice helmet. I use it when getting into tight spots and am unable to flip the helmet down. For 90+ percent of the time, I prefer my old standard big window non-electronic Jackson...

I made a short video of what we were discussing above if anyone would like to watch it. This is just my take on the technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8MFjNHw8Ac Hope this is able to help someone. Mike.

I too am going to go with the new KO2 when my size comes out. I am currently running the KM2's and although they have done everything I have asked of them I think they are definitely more geared towards mud and I absolutely hate mud and avoid it at all costs. I ran the original KO's on my last...

Thanks. No problem, I understand about the phone. I am sure we will have to get together again, especially that we live so close. Mike.

Nice to have met you Brett. Sorry those wouldn't have worked, that is a smokin' deal. Mike.

Cool thread, I guess I will have to pay closer attention to where people are from in their signature/username and watch for them on the streets. I see a couple of familiar ones on here around the Layton, Clearfield, Syracuse and West Point area. Mike.

While we are somewhat on the topic of welding there is one more thing worth mentioning, while working on getting a good solid, sound weld with your dominant hand, don't forget to practice with your non-dominant hand while your at it. It is very good to be ambidextrous and become proficient with...

Sorry, I should have been more clear on that. I knew the tube would pull and put the clamps on after the top weld to pull the tubing back on the other side before welding it. There are two schools of thought here, you can either clamp it down solid and weld it to eliminate the movement, but be...

No problem, let me see if I can create a visual. With the 2"x3" rectangular tubing clamped to the jig/table, I welded the top edge. In typical welding fashion, the metal moves where it is not 100% held in place. The tubing in the vertical plane pulled in at the weld which resulted in a slight...

Sorry if I sounded/typed like I was offended, I really wasn't and you didn't offend me. I just wanted to ensure what method I was using because it is such a huge and quite heated debate. Again, no offense and I didn't take it that way. I had to learn along the way and I just always want to make...
