You reminded me that I need to make a base or reinforce my cheapo Harbor Freight cut-off saw. The stock base is a flexi POS.

I'm all ready to cut, fit, and fry!

Any TIG tips for aluminized steel tubing? Can you use stainless rod or MIG with stainless wire or does that create failure issues? Considering the welded section will not be stressed by a hanger, would butting the tubing and fuse welding with the TIG be the ticket?

If it's aluminized steel -- just fry it with the MIG.... Just make sure your fit up is impeccable.

You don't want to be hovering over those fumes.

Come on up! We'll video the entire ordeal because everybody wants to watch a couple of old monkeys trying to F a football for 8 hours.

I'm doing a great job so far of exploiting my lack of exhaust fabricating talent and lack of parts inventory. :sieg:

My biggest dilemma is the range of travel in the rearward portion of the leaf spring. The tire has about a .5" and I can get 1.25" vertical clearance on the spring. I'm guessing the vertical clearance will result in the tailpipe contacting the spring under hard cornering.

Global West's Del-A-Lum rear shackle kit is probably in order to limit lateral travel and insure the tire stays clear of the tailpipe.

If you had a sack -- as a welder -- you'd drop that factory fuel tank outta there and start cutting it up and making some room.
