Next step is to finish welding out the shell and blending welds. Then I can start on the fun stuff. More pics tomorrow

Keep up the good work and let me know if u need a hand with anything.

[bullypitbbq]

Thanks crazyD. U got ur build on this site?

[CrazyD]

Not yet.

[bullypitbbq]

Didnt as much done as I wanted today but I got the hard part done anyway. Using an old gas welder so its all welded with stick. This is where I really regret not buying a miller mig machine. But o well itll get done anyway.

Looking real good. I like that ash pan set up, should make for light clean up.

Thanks garzanium. I do think it will be a lot more efficient with an ash pan.
