Love the build so far!👍 My only thought watching all episodes so far that keeps popping up in my head is, if you intend to take the body lift off, why not take it off before you have an issue with all the stuff you fabricated already?
As the project has progressed I have always made sure that there was the extra clearance in everything that was fabricated to be able to drop the body back down. Good looking out though.
A Vulcan 220 from harbor freight. I have had great experiences with their welders. Used on if their cheapest ones for years before they came out with the Vulcan series. Also I am using gas mig, not just flux core.
