1) Another view of squaring ops. I did not show welding as it is boring, and bad for the camers.
One would notice the top side structural piece present. This is, besides a stifener, as mud scraper. It is in close proximity to the surface of the wheel/tire/rubber..maybe 1/16--1/8 inch... and has an un rounded edge on the top to serve as a nice sharp edged scraper. The original 4 inch wheel did indeed collect grass and dirt and mud between the wheel and weldment. This idea was taken from a picture I took at Crossville several years ago. Thanks to whomever had the idea already installed!
2) primer paint drying. Lets just sit and watch it for a while. you be the judge on how long! I had to rototill up the wifes flower garden while it was drying, so I didnt catch it in the act. It was all over when I returned. Go figure.
3) The self etching primer is actually green, not white. I dont know why the previous picture showed up as white. As I said, I wasnt there. I am still trying to figure it out too.
