Common problem with the sideways pics, hint take the pics with phone sideways with bottom of phone to the right. I had the same problem now I take all pics that way. Your quality of work still shines through. Also your shop looks to be as neat and clean as a doctors office,wow.....TIO

The first 303 had stand offs on the ROPS. Made some tabs from 1/4" plate to weld the 1.5"x1.5" box tube frame too. It is skinned with 1/2" lexan. The side is lexan by itself, profiled with the cage. These are used to feed the smaller chippers.

Thank you. I can do that!

That's good too know, i'll try that. Yes, I am pretty anal about everything. Kinda has to be with the race cars. try to keep it very professional looking.

Fishmouth, beautiful work and a cool thread. I got out of wheeling when I moved to Texas, but you stirred up some great memories of the Rubicon, Hammers and all the rest. My favorite trail of all time is Dusy. Makes me miss living out there a bit.

I have still never made it to Dusy. Rubicon is 45min up the road from me:D. There is still lots of wheeling in Texas though. You should get another rig.

This is the next one. Notice no stand offs on the ROPS. I am drawing up some clamps that the frame will weld too. Other then that,they will look the same.

Some more of the current car. The rear upper shock mounts and swinging rack holds the action packers down. A door bar/wing window bar junction as well.

A gift too myself. Miller x-treme 12vs. I wanted an old LN25, but no one wants to get rid of them. Or the ones I do find are wasted. I have not heard to many good things about the new ones.

Since I am partial to "true blue" any way, I picked one up. I love it so far. Very smooth

I have 2 12vs cases and one 8vs case. You will love them I have found them to be extremely rugged. So why does one man need 3 wire feeders? Tool hoarder! After getting a larger service truck I decided I could pack a full size box around. Then after one project of weeks on end of loading and unloading my 12vs in and out of my service truck and parking the truck outside of shop I decided to get another box and an inverter 350??? only used it once....TIO
