Re: "Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA

thanks guys, I'm still new to all this compared to most. I got six years under my belt which is still green IMO. But... I'm trying to really step up this year. Early on I spent all my spare money which wasn't much, on my builds or projects I'v saved or collected. So if I didn't spend money on them I coulda had tools or a good garage. But no worries on looking back.

As for Geronimo, I final welded the IFS and am going to coat it this weekend since the heat wave is coming, its really helping me out. Some weld pics, tiny tiny undercut I can live with. I made some gussets for the top hats, I seen someones pull up one time and I thought well maybe I should reinforce that area. Any tips on welding I'm all ears. Little splatter maybe I could get that down with cleaner metal or more gas?

Once front is coated I'm putting engine back in to make sure that and the trans will line up proper. I'll do the trans xmember and exhaust. Then Cab can come off next month. I took bed back off, so I'll work on the shocks and Fuel tank. Maybe do fuel and brake lines too.
