Some similar sized 1.9s for reference It looks like I need to add some length to the links. I moved the skid forward a bit so I could use the same length links front and rear. Eventually I'll build some tube bumpers and some boatside sliders and possibly do at least a partial exo cage. I may even do a floor and inner wheel wells. |

Mapp gas works well for brazing as well and is much cheaper than oxygen/acetylene. I really dig your build so far man, I started a clod body build years ago and never finished it. Seeing your rig makes me wish I had. |

| Re: Project Clod Hopper I thought about MAPP but an oxy/acetylene rig would be more useful for me for other hobbies as well.

Few more pieces of tubing taking shape. This being my first go around doing this much tube work I'm blown away with how much tubing is used. I started out with 4' length and went through the rather quick and then went and bought another 10' length and have about 2' of that left and I know that won't be enough. to top it all off I accidentally left the gas valve open on my welder and now I need to get that filled before I can do much else. |
