I’m a slow learner I suppose, I just go out there in whatever “rags” I have laying around. I’ve got more than a few ‘welding’ shirts with built in A/C Grin and bear it baby!Ha ha, half inch is some pretty serious material.... but at least you know it won't break! And yeah, welding upside down kinda blows. I have a good leather apron, long armed welding gloves, and a beat up old carhartt that do a fairly good job of protecting me. If you don't have an apron, I strongly suggest getting one. Mine has saved me from having to buy new clothes quite a few times. And my girlfriend says I look sexy with it on
I’m done with the welding on the front part (I’m working on getting that up tonight). I still suck at making pretty welds upside down, but I have yet to have one of my welds break, even the ugly upside down ones. So I must be doing something right (maybe some of the stuff the old guys at the shop told me stuck some).
My wife just tells me I "smell like fire" when I'm welding, guess you lucked out..
I’m talking about the Chevy leaf swap for the rear of the truck. I don’t know which ones I have offhand (haven’t measured them) but yes it refers to the length.You talk about 63 or 64s leafs what are you refering to? length?
Here’s some more reading for ya:

Work sent me on the road for a bit, so progress slowed down a little. And I've got a bum finger now so that's slowing the typing down if nothing else. But I should have an update done tonight.
Thanks for the comments guys!
