Project “Ghost Duster”, 1970 Duster Corner Carver
My TIG welder is being delivered today! Unfortunately, it’s being delivered to my buddy’s in Michigan. I’m not sure when we will be able to cross the border, but it will be waiting for me when we can. In the meantime, I tack welded everything with MIG and will do the final welding with the TIG when I get it here.
Here is the clover landing plate, it’s made of 1/8” cold rolled steel. Just taped on in this pic.
Cutting the bars to size.
Here are the bottom landing plates on the frame rail. You can see where I trimmed the lip off of the rail earlier. Also cut a hole through the plate to allow the j-bar to sit closer to the inner fender. I will be able to weld from behind and right up the sides to tie in the inner fender and rail.
