I did some frame clean up and man that is time consuming and messy what ever comes off ends up on you.
Its a tar grease type stuff
I used gunk engine degreaser and broke it up with a wire wheel and sand paper then brake clean to clean it all up.

The tubs turned out really good, I installed some on a 79 one time and it was a royal pain to get them to fit right.

Correct its a sea can and its really narrow. I don't mind it for what I'm doing now.
Where I am its not uncommon for it to blow 70+k winds and have nasty weather.
Its the only spot I could leave it for a extended period of time and not have to worry about it. It beats being out side in the weather and I can leave my tools where they are and can pick up where I left off.
A big shop would be nice ill be honest
One day it will come.

You know, If you put 2 side by side you could weld them together and have 2x the space... lol

They actually build structures like that you know.
