Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

IG@gbrettin:
Filled all the gaps, laid some heavy weld and added the gussets. I'm completely happy with the results. I'm starting to get the hang of welding with MIG. Also, if anyone was wondering how the turbos are mounted, look into Maven mounts.

--------------

Next up... Mounting tabs. I'll knock that out later in the week.

I got to say Rusty, I found this process incredible frustrating. However, it's crazy addicting. I literally took junk bar metal in the shop and made something useful out of it. Very gratifying.

I had a lot of additional ideas going through this process... but at at some point I had to commit to a direction.

It's not perfect... but hey, I guess it has character? lol
