Re: Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

Engine Mounts -

Once the parts had been found, we focused on finishing those up for the afternoon. Got every part mocked up on the engine and frame cross member before she came by with a few beers. Once that refreshing break was over, we got back at it. Got the engine positioned and set down on the fabricated parts. Got them tacked into place, removed them and moved to the bench for welding. Once we had them out, Korbin went back on fitting the hump sections. He finished that up and helped me with the welding of the mounts. It is NOT our best work welding, but they are strong and for a prototype set, they will work for now. Decided to cap them as they are fairly tall, the cap will give some needed structure and strength.

I know the welds are not the best looking so I don't need to hear any crap... I had not welded anything in 6-7 months, so instead of doing some practice beads to dial in myself and the welder, I just went at the mounts. These will get me to my goal, and might get replaced with a better solution that I will try to market for the generation of C10.

So for now, get a few laughs at the following pictures.
