I'm well aware of that Dminor. I never claimed to be an expert, I just said I know how. I also stated that it may not be the prettiest but it works. I grew up around 4 uncles who build vehicles, primarily trucks, (show trucks at that.. that actually win car shows, can fix just about anything, builds houses, does roofing, plumbing, wiring, ...
etc.
Trust me, I know there's more. But the way you're talking, you must be an expert, so why not enlighten all of us with some welding knowledge.


.... yes today has been a horrible day. So lets NOT pick on me for once.



on a happier not, In between the crap and hell i've put up wit today, I was able to do some work on my Rim. Got my hands on a T-2 truing stand and a dishing thing. Only problem is they didn't give me the threaded rod that goes in the center of the thing..
Anyway without the dishing, I was able to get the rim almost completely laterally true, and was able to smoothen out the high and low spots. Afterwards I checked the tension, good enough for me, some slightly higher, some a bit lower, but oh well... don't think its going to get much better.... I was almost tempted to buy a new rim last night.

Now my issue is for some magical reason, the rim is to close to the left stays, and the tire rubs... I messed with the axle and stuff and adjusted it over a smidge, Haven't put the tires on yet...
yay.....
