"Thats gonna be a gumbo dumper. !!!"

Yes sir that's the plan. Gumbo. BBQ fried rice. Various stir fried dishes and as a frier when needed.

I have some scrap stainless sheet that I would like to weld up into a large steamer for corn or clam bakes.

Sorry for the multi lines of posts. For some reason it would only let me post one picture per page.

Couple more weeks like this last one and it will be time for a fire in this rig.

Thanks!

And that is exactly why it has been getting worked on, I am more than likely not racing this year. The only track left that runs the class of cars we have is one I will not step foot in. So the Driver / other half owner is on his own.

Did a long day on Saturday and got the fire box and fire box door all done and welded to the main tank. Then installed the legs so she could see the light of day. Next will be the attack on the inside of the main chamber..
