Sure. I don't want to take up too much bandwidth with every weld (I do that on ScaledTanks), but some more pieces of frame have been added. I pulled the frame out of its plywood sheel and am doing full welds over the tack welds. I weighed the steel frame by itself, and it was 280 pounds. I think that is mostly it.  |

I set up the frame to remove a slight amount of twist before welding in a few diagonal braces. Masking tape is used to suggest where further braces will go.  The engine and trans are in place so I remember not to weld up braces that will prevent the installation or removal of these parts. |

I know it pretty much looks the same every time with just small changes, so that is just the pace I am working at. With winter coming up and my workspace getting reduced, I will be turning my attention to building some tracks over the winter because I can do that in a small space. Welding on the frame requires that I have room to flip it over in all directions to get at it from different angles.
