Welder

My MIG welder arrived today. I spent some time reading the instruction manual and putting everything together. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try it out, because the other half of my order from Northern Tool (gloves, clamps) won't be here until tomorrow, and I need to go pick up a helmet. This thing looks pretty sweet though.



I picked up this wicked-looking grinder brush yesterday:



...and used it to clean up the front of the frame a little. Hopefully I'll have a bumper on here before too much longer.





That's just Rustoleum primer on there for now. Eventually I'd like to POR-15 the frame and axle housings, or coat with Zero Rust. I need to do a little more research about UV resistance first.
