Re: karls sammy
Excellent colour choice there that looks splendidly evil
Good job you didn’t have to pay someone else to do the welding for you... that would have cost you an arm, leg, kidney and cornea!
I look forward to seeing it in the flesh (mild steel).
What is the fate of the 410?

Re: karls sammy
That is a very cool looking SJ.
You have about the same amount oof rust as mine does, altho i can only just weld, and it is a very bad weld! nothing like learning on the job!
