What a great weekend! Though it did start off rough. Loaded up the trailer Friday and heard a pretty loud pop and the steering became very unresponsive. So I headed to Fly N Hi to pickup a harness that Jeremy had in short order. He really saved my weekend plans. Thank you Jeremy.
While I was there I started poking around the shitbox and found this.
The whole frame would swing about an inch from centerline. There was no way I would wheel that
Luckily I have good friends. I headed over to Andrews work to pick him up for the weekend. TOld him what had happened and he responded "It's not like you're not at a full fabrication shop" So after he clocked out we backed the old Pig into the shop and he did his magic.
First thing he did was bend the torn metal back and burn it back together.
Then took a few measurements and got to work.
ended up plated the underside of the frame rail to repair the tear. Got it good enough to wheel the weekend.
