Re: PO has me PO'd

Yeah, actually a little. Hit a wall for a while, busy weekends.

Had a really cool BBQ at JC's house, bunch of truck guys got together. Met Jon Burnham with Tri- Pro, nice guy, really informative. Great to meet the guy that made all my panels and doors, forgot to mention the fit of the kick panel to him. Maybe next time!! Nice to put faces with all the people you talk to on here, great group of guys....

Had a problem with the fit of the diagonal support, seems like I wasn't getting enough penetration on my welds. Had to keep checking to make sure they were holding, just a little pressure with a pry bar up lets you know if they are holding. Pretty critical area, you don't want these to come lose....

Any way here are some pics: found out that if you put a pc. of copper in your welders magnet it helps to keep the weld from dropping out on the horizontal plane, worked for me... just an idea
