Tig Ole…

In this installment I was trying to start welding up the captured nut in the B pillar for the shoulder belt/ Harness bar. However my welding mask was not working. I bought 3 separate sets of batteries 3 days in a row. The first two net nothing. The last set inexplicably only gave me a low battery flash.

So I bought a new mask. Frustratingly this mask came with a dead battery as well.

I ordered a battery for overnight delivery on Amazon but it came two days later instead. So in the mean time I bought one at the store when I went to refill my welding gas. I also picked up a heater for the garage. It works pretty decent. It even got hot in the garage while it was sub 30* outside.

I finished the sway bars and the rest of the extended studs.

This whole time my valve cover was not bolted down. I had been waiting for driftmotion to ship the new hardware and it finally came.

This allowed me to finally install the new titanium bolts for the spark cover.

Also the strut bar and new top hat hardware went in.

Welding up the frame for the ps pump next.
