First coat

All that’s left is sanding and paint.

Buddy is cutting the wood for the workstation.

Still have work station, clean up the metal, and paint.

Almost done [emoji123]

FB latch completed.

I still miss my 7.3 and it’s been gone for 8 years now. Does it still come with the rancho shocks from the factory? When they wear out in 5000 miles consider a nice set of bilstein or fox for it. It made a world of a difference in ride and I waited way too long to do it. In the meantime, enjoy it! ...

Congrats.

2nd powerstroke. I had a 7.3 for many years.

This 6.7 is an absolute beast.

That may be in the works [emoji12]

Hey also wanted to share with the group that I did a thing this weekend.

Welcome the newest family member!

Dirtytires wrote:What is the weld bead on the top of the brass ball valve for? Or is it not a weld, can’t really tell.

It’s a weld. I didn’t have a threaded pipe so I welded it.

Metal run tomorrow. Fire basket rails installed and half the fire basket frame.

It looks like the bottom grate is a few inches below center, could just be camera angle. I've wondered about doing that, to get a little more space between grates. Everybody always says put it at center or 1 inch below center, but seems like a little lower shouldn't hurt too much. I haven't tried i...

dacolson wrote:Looks awesome. Did you increase the space between grates from you last build?

A little. It was unintentional.

Both rails built and one rack

Thanks brother [emoji123]

Been working my butt off lately. Just got off 24hr shift and had to get after it! Tonight’s progress: FB door on with brace. Door stop for CC. Lower rack rails. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200806/8ef21dc8fab318126f9bb94db1e0bdf3.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200806/4badceab07b5ecbe1a...

I also find the most level spot in the garage [emoji481]

Dang. You almost look like you know what you’re doing. I’m impressed your tank sat so level on the jack stand after you got the frame under the firebox. Did you plan that out with math? My stands adjust in about 1” increments so getting things level w out shims, etc is a nightmare. I did do some ma...
