Yeah not sure stewart i think it must of been
when they soda blasted the frame
they used it to hang it up :?

new mig is a 155 amp gass/ gasless unit
at the moment using it with no gas
just the flux cored wire and it seems to do a
fairly good weld now im getting the hang of it

Hi Jay,
do you have any use for the Y-frames visible in the background of this shot?
Are they any good?
