Had to pull the tires back off so I could re-sandblast the wheels and the other set I found in better condition. Going to follow that up with a shot of sandable primer before I apply the final color(s).

Finally sent a project. About even money so with inflation and storage I lost a boatload but bad idea finally departed.

had planned to hit Jackson today anyway for 4 gas bottle exchanges, and they had some good stuff on the shelf.
series 2 consumables kit, 25' zipper sheath for torch leads.
was really nice to not be hasseled about where i got my welder or what i was doing, guy behind counter was just nice and helped me out. also gave me like 20-40% off when i was short on pocket cash with gas/5year lease updates, tig goodies haha spent like 600$
first boogers!

Been wishing for tig on and off. Not enough wish to go shopping. Sure would make a lot of things easier, non structural in particular like body and exhaust and plumbing.
