I also made some simple covers for the front wheels...shortened up some 1" copper pipe caps and soldered them to the cover plate....should look OK...

Not yet, need to weld everything and finish all the little things that never got done before....

Speaking of all the little thing....made the proper motor mount from 1/4" Alm. which places the motor/gear box at the proper angle, also cut new side covers from 16ga Alm.

Haha.....(cheater??)

I may considering cutting a new frame from 1/2" Alm. later on to get rid of a few pounds...

(actually thinking of making another 777 truck to pull a belly dump trailer and or a heavy trailer to haul the D11 and the future face shovel around...that is once I get it built...LOL...)

[DADSGARAGE]

Started the long process of welding,grinding and sanding......got the tanks done...slowly getting things done
