I finally picked up some oxy & acetylene tanks a few weeks ago. Got out my trusty 20+ year old dual stage craftsmen regulators and torch. Goal was to reweld a exhaust pipe for the Land Cruiser, which

Do you have any painted panels that you could take with you to a autupait store? Air intake, or fuel sender cover? Some autopaint places will have a "color match computer" that can tell them the exa

Is the shelter placed over dirt, or a concrete slab? Biggest problem is moisture. You need for it to be well ventalated to prevent condensation and the collection of moisture in the body, ect. Actua

It is an aluminum plate. Most like it is not cracked, but corroded enough to leak water. You can also take your aluminum spacer into a machine shop and ask about having it welded back up, and remach
