Took advantage of a nice early spring day



And a sign from the neighborhood I perused looking for a nice backdrop for the above pic:



Makes me want to go mudding...

I cleaned my engine and flushed my radiator. Gotta build some inner fenders soon. It gets so dirty under the hood without em.

I'm not the best welder and I don't have all the tools to make it look all fancy.

Those cutouts you see for sale aren't as good as you think and cost too much. They leak and the expensive electric ones don't work very long. If this melts, I'll just bolt a new throttle body up there.

Welding is like any other skill, it takes practice.
