        ENJOY it my brother... We Old School Boomers have earned or earning our stripes... You're just a bit further on the front end as I am.. I have 10-12 left in me before I tell them I'm done.

              It's been damn near 3 months since I started this and in between the heat, and life I've finally got some progress pics to post. This is about the extent of it so far, so now I'll back track a bit.


              Doors are cut, hinges welded and doors banded on 3 outsides. The tops of the doors have a band on the inside. Reverse flow plate installed & welded.


              Firebox end.


              I used a couple of axes from Harbor Freight for the door handles. I may modify these a bit.

              Right side door handle.



              Inside view of the RF plate...nothing special.


              Both doors open. I still need to fab door stops, cut the hole for the drain and whole bunch of other stuff. Sorry for draggin' my ass, but I'm retired and not on a time schedule anymore

              The "other" end The rest of this will come together pretty quick (I hope). Thanks for looking
