I wish I could tig weld like Reg...actually I wish I could just weld period!!

Nobody wants to TIG weld like me...I have a lot of room left for improvement trust me!

Made the covers for the front struts, cut from .010" SS shim stock.

Also made the top cap to cover the shaft...used some brass and a 3/4" copper pipe cap....still need to solder it together....
