    Careful with that angle grinder, I can count on losing a little skin every time I pick one of those up.


    Whats the plan, Dropped axle in front? how much? z the frame in back or not.

    Congratulations!! It certainly is great to see you doing well enough to start the build.
    Take as many pictures as you can manage.
    And, yes... safety first. Face shield, gloves and a dust mask when grinding.
    You might as well take care of your health. You've worked hard enough getting it back.

    Ok.. I suck at this sort of thing but here's an idea I've had for a while.
    Maybe Andy and his "crew" could make sure we have plenty of pictures and stories so that someone could assemble them into a scrapbook (electronic or paper). Not just the build but the events leading up to it too.
    It could be auctioned off to pay for something on his build OR to help fund a project or relief for some other deserving HAMBer. Sure have been a bunch of folks in need since I joined.
    "Andy's ride". Someone want to take this project on?
    Whaddaya think?
    Go ahead and start a new post if you want to work on this.
    I have lots of computer skills but not much creativity. I can do lots of computer grunt work.
    If no one else wants to take it on I will but some of you folks are SO talented and I'd be proud to assist.
