Thanks. I know what you mean about new tech, old stuff that has worked for you a long time and gave you good service was your friend, but wow, this new stuff really rocks. I'll check out the Miller and keep following this nice Jim thread.

That number 965 in the recessed area of Post #183 looks factory to me. I've been finding numbers like that on my frame (95 in my case). Assembly related I would think.

I wish I had more feedback to give but your work goes far beyond anything I've ever been personally associated with.

Pic 1 Here small pieces tacked to firewall, and the top pieces placed for welding. This was all on a 30 degree angle, not flat.

Pic 2 After welding, you can see the angle.
