Very nice welds.

Nice work cleaning that rearend up. I'm guessing your least aesthetic weld was 1000x better than the booger welds you have ground off that truck.

Love the consistent progress you're making.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to having the rear end back in place.

Installed the front carrier and pinion bearings. Thankfully, my wife is entertained when I "cook" car parts.
