Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

While I'm waiting on some decent weather so I can spray some high build primer I've been piddling with some other stuff...got started on the gas tank fix....I had to cut the end off to get the grunk outta it...my buddy with the tig welder was gonna tig it back together for me but we were having trouble finding time between his and my projects to get it done...so I thought I'd give it a shot with the mig....it ain't the purtiest thing but I got it back together....
still have to pressure test...
The stamped corners of the tank were extremely thin ,which I assume is from the metal stretching when they stamped the halves..sure made for some interesting welding...
