Make sure your hood is rated for overhead welding!

Don't want to find out the hard way.

 

It's not, but that has never stopped me before

 

It's fine, I've got that welder's dripp

 

I rode it home from buying it, just a mile or two. It's nice, but I'll be switching it up. The guy who owned it was an old bike mechanic. He built it up with nice stuff--Chris King headset, Thomson seat post, White Industries ENO hub.

The original bass boat paint failed so he rattle-canned over it, which is a bummer, but also a bit of relief. Like not caring about the paint on your trail rig.

 

Noooooo not the stripper glitter paint

Part of me wants to repaint the Tacoma with those big metallic flakes lol

 

Sounds like it was well cared for.. what do you think you'll do to it?

 

I rock that 100% cotton bandana

Can't go wrong with a 3-pack, plus I get tons of looks at school cause everyone else is "professionally" dressed

You find the cap more convenient? Been meaning to buy one.

 

I briefly had a ton of time sunk into fixing machine tooling and jigs and most of it was overhead welding. This kept me from painful scarring on my dome

 

Overhead rated hood?

Yep.

The material the hood is made of would determine whether slag just melts through it or doesn't.

You're the one with tons of welding experience

 

so just not a cheap one

I though this was something that actually covered your head

 

I guess?

I've got a Lincoln 3350

 

Yeah, I guess it's not so different from how we get excited about '90s trucks... the things we idolized as kids, and/or trying to own a piece of a simpler time that may-or-may-not have actually existed.

I've got a Crust Clydesdale fork that I'm going to put on it, then use it as my around-town bike. It turns an old bike into a sort of cargo bike. Like this:

I literally didn't realize all the shit it comes with; multiple inner and outer lenses, bandana, and stickers.

The drawstring bag is useful as hell.

 

Overhead flux core may still fuck you up

 

It sure seemed simpler then

You got a basket and all? It seems perfect for beer runs

 

A genuine Walgreen's basket I found on the side of the road .

 

I love that for you
