Cobbling together a bunch of leftover exhaust pieces for the Bad Skittle. Love the sound my Multimatic 220 makes short arcing! #Browndogwelding #millerwelders #SXT4 #channellock (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B69TXwlpRwJ/?igshid=1ifaxyippc7fi

New battery and she fired up. Been sitting for 2 years I think? Down pipe is rusted at the bottom so there’s no exhaust, I grabbed a new o2 sensor and will try to Frankenstein something together when I’m able to get under it. The Bad Skittle is coming back. #sxt4 #grimace #itsjustaneon (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lk7JdJSaf/?igshid=63tcsjo78fvn

My Eaton two stage 80 gallon compressor had been sitting in the beer truck in storage, took advantage of the Rebel to do some truck stuff. I wish I had more pics, but I was more concerned with getting this 600lb beast from the box truck to the Ram’s bed. What I don’t have photos of is the process of pulling the tank once it was to the edge. I used a c-clamp, s-chain, lifting straps, a floor jack, some lengths of wood, some steel. I think my come-alongs are in another storage unit. I hooked the chains to the bottom tie-down in the front of the bed and to the bottom of the tank and pulled forward, then backed up and readjust the chains and wood, then pulled forward again, about 5 times before the thing was in far enough. Thanks to Darla for her help! When we got to the shop @lof8 had his a-frame and electric chain fall and made quick work of unloading it. #Browndogwelding #truckstuff #onceamillwright https://www.instagram.com/p/B6jriuEpYPQ/?igshid=196hsy48d06c8
