What a looker, thought it would be a smurf blue saw.

I think it looks good as well. Av on it suppose to be really good as well. Time will tell how it lasts.

Cats already out and bar mounted. Got dark outside on me tho

Snowing here......went to Bangor this morning and bought some 5" channel iron for the cross member I have to make......and some 1/4" X 6" plate to re-enforce some weak spots on the frame up under the cab....and a pair of new gas tank straps.....back to truck work this afternoon....was down yesterday due to crap in my left eye.....slag, dirt, rust or grinding wheel ****.......doc said scratched me eye ball.....one-eyed welding wasn't gonna make it....better today....cutting and fitting this afternoon.....inside with the Free Flow mulling along on Jonsereds cut wood.....big doors closed......in a snow free zone....

 

[Stihl 041S]

Yeah.. not bad......the back end is really thin......not from rust...just made that way....crumple zone thing I guess. But it's solid and straight.....the round cross members are toast as well as the square aft one.....few more pics of progress to date...working towards being non-Hoopty...

Had the AC on high today. Saw 84° on the way to pick up the wife's car from the dealer...at 5pm.

 

[Cantdog]

High of 38 here today......34 now....sun just went down.....downright coolish it is...but the snow didn't amount to more than an annoyance. Got the square cross member almost fitted this afternoon....tight squeeze...have to drive it in kitty cornered and cut around rivet heads in the frame as I go....just one more to do and it will be in place.....gotta cut two rather large holes in it and weld on a piece of 1 1/2' angle iron to support the spare tire winch.....first thing in the morning. Then move forward and pull the gas tank and that cross member will fall out....LOL!!! Gas tank strap is holding what's left of it in place...sorta.....

Picked up another minty looking 490.....this one may need engine work.....or not...we'll see....paid $45.00 for it....can afford to put some into it...if I have to..
