The brothers bought a surplus war Jeep and built the first Land Rover on
that, after being hipnotised by the little M38's capabilies. It was on the
History Channel about the history of off-roading.

Nate, you might want to fix your sig.
You don't want to lower yourself to his level, do you...
By the way, either my filters are working, or someone plunked him from the
group, but it seems pretty quiet the last couple of days.

this regulation could be due to multiple reasons, most likely because most
shops could not ensure the weld was done _properly_. how many mechanic
shops employ certified welders? very few! most mechanic shops have
mechanics that "know how to weld" but that doesnt mean they are capable of
joining two pieces of steel in a manner that would pass
destructive/non-destructive testing. all types of conversions are done
daily where frames are lengthened/shortened and this is accomplished through
welding. hopefully the shop doing the custom work knows what theyre doing.
> Yep, I've welded springs too.
spring steel is a bit different in that it is designed to flex. i know of
no welding process where the consumable will flex without destructive side
effects.
