You got that right. I can't understand why or how people persever with out one.
I know not everyone has the facilities to make one, but trust me they make life so much easier in the long run.
As for the stripping and seam welding, yea its getting completely stripped back and seam welded. Should make the old girl last another 40 years at least.

Nice one dude.
Yeah i agree with ya bout why people persevere without one. If ya doin rust repairs or engine conversion you must have a welder and a grinder and thats all ya really need.
Lookin forward to your progress matey
