This pump mounted off a 1/2" pipe(conduit) from the side wall of the drum bought from ebay for $80

You're making some great headway and the quality work really shows. Love following this thread and seeing the product.

 

[rakort]

Some body work headway. Getting my skills tuned up for sheet metal welding.

I've been slow on the "uptake" with sheet metal welding, but this was a big confidence boost!

Finishing up on the passenger side wheel house.

the driveway metal shop! LOVING the new cart...makes setup a quick

More progress

BTW Fxxxx weld thru primer. It blew up my plug welds! Sucked

New $10 german made dolly set from ebay. Loving those...got a steel or is it steal on those!

A nice surprise found under the trunk floor extension.

I saved the old corner reinforcement that I dug out and then semi restored to test fit everything. It fits way better than the AMD replacement, but I'll have to work on that. (hence dollies!)

dutchman panel fit up is next
