30-Mar-08 The coal bunkers after my attempt to TIG weld them. The welds are not pretty, but the sides stay together. I had to modify the design to put the sides and back on the outside of the cab deck and not inside like the plans call for, since my deck is 1/4" too short (but blueprint spec). If I didn't do this, the screw holes to mount the deck to the frame would be partially covered by the sides.
