69 GTO Build

Showing off my new toy, Diversion 180. Will make my life easier when I get to welds I care about, once I learn how to use it.
They are offering rebates until the end of the month.

Gus it would be nice if you could finish the mini tubbing over the winter, don't give up on it.
Mike glad you will soon be having fun building your Butler stroker, I love the way they sound.
Roger I wish that it would go together faster too, hopefully I will get the car back from the frame shop in a few weeks so I can get back on it! Seems like I am sadly at the bottom of their list. I have been thinking it would be nice to get the black paint on it before I drop the motor and drivetrain back in so that just in case it comes together sooner than I think. My to do list is still fairly long before I can call it ready for paint, but I think it will be quicker than 10 years, haha!

Hi Eric. Late response again.
I picked up a Diversion 165 back in 2013 and just love it. Miller makes very nice tig welders. And with your fab skills, the learning curve will flatten out quickly I'm sure.

Well, you already know how my winter went! Nothing got done. But I would like to ask you what I asked Mike, since I'm not going to narrow the frame rails, should I still install the mini tubs? Will I gain any clearance for 295's or will it be a waste of effort and time?

Mike, a Butler Stroker? Wow! I'm guessing the original motor had issues. I'll continue to play catch up.. i'm sure the answer is in here somewhere.

Enjoy the day.
