Why do welding tanks alway runout on the weekend!?? I have gotten this for with my '40's haircut and I ran out of gas for the mig last night :x This morning I cut the door tops down to size. Luckily I have six doors for this truck, that's why you'll see three different colors on one door (plus duct tape till I get more gas) So far so good, but this is a lot of work!! :?

Looks real good so far Joe.

Tanks run out on weekends because they know that's when you'll need them. Maybe you ought to fool them and get a little one for a spare.

Around here now you can exchange them at the Tractor Supply Store, Oscheilner (sp) and Wheelers store. They are farm supply type stores. They just started doing it this year so maybe you can check them out if you have them in your area. They say you have to own the bottle.

Yeah we have a TSC here, I'll have to check with them about that, the bottle I have I bought from a local welding shop....the guy there said they fill them just enough to run out on the weekends

I hope this attachment works,

This is my old 39 Chevy which was copped 4 inches with thanks to Ram Rod and a couple of mates. The chop was finished with the exception of the doors in one night.

I will see if I can find some more pics of the old girl.

Dayum I wish I hadnt sold this one.
