All the nuns are going to die...
#savethenuns is the goal for my 2 months of prep.
This has been seized sense bb15 including wheeling for the weekend and survived 5 transmissions and a engine.
Stephen from ORD personally brought one to the bash and handed it to me.

No go on the wings for the bump cans my material was to thick and just isn't going to work. Not to mention I kept blowing up cut off wheels.
Where is everybody at? I start posting solid updates and everyone leaves haha

HF cut off wheels?
Was trying to use 1/4 because I had a sheet, would much rather use 3/16 But I would have to beg someone to get me some or pay a ridiculous amount. A 3x3 sheet was going to cost 80 dollars.
What do you guys recommend sense I'm going to have to buy anyway now?
The plan was to have two wings and a piece to the top of the frame to the can and tow the wings in. It will be hard to get the welder Into the top of the frame.
I'm watching. I'm watching everyone.....
we need a creeper in the night smiley. Lol
1/4" should be no problem for those wheels, either 3/16" or 1/4" would be fine for that job.
Slow down and keep the wheel speed high, keep the wheel as shallow as you can if you need to make a turn. Otherwise they blow up really easy. I built my whole Blazer with a cutoff wheel back in the day, it can be done.

You can say that again
I'm not sure what is up with these, have never had this problem heck I cut the links with a harbor freight cut off wheel...
It might be my new grinder that spins faster at 12k but the wheels say 13.5k max speed. Either way I think I'm going to start fresh and see if I can get some 3/16 tomorrow.
You know.....a plasma cutter would solve your problems.

We observe your frugality.
So you have to observe our sarcasm
Stop shopping at Horrid Freight
I'm just f'kn with you.
You should have no problem cutting those with a decent wheel. I've had those HF discs explode on me, all their abrasives are poor quality IMO.
If you'd move closer, I could help you. The school district here is looking for qualified teachers and your employer has a branch 10 minutes from my house. And the house 2 houses down is for sale. 3 car, room for dog.
And my girls can baby sit for you
I like your thinking
