Found a set of 4 18"10.5 5 spoke C5 wheels, will need spacers. Most like wrap them with some fallen 615s in the 315/30/18 variation.
Seams the wheels have few minor dings, rather use those for fitment vs blind order expensive wheels wrongly

Also found several Lincoln 180 welders one dedicated mig others mig/tig or mig/stick.. been needing as welder that can do at least 3/8" single pass.. my Lincoln 140 has been limit tested for years now... like to have Lincoln new 215 mig version think they released it last year or two..

I have a Lincoln 140. I was hitting the duty cycle too much so I cut the plug off and spliced an L5-30 twist lock plug. Never hits the duty cycle on dedicated 30amp circuit. The millermatic 211 is pretty sweet and if I upgrade that’s what I’ll probably get. Here’s a pass with my Lincoln 140. Welding receiver to a new bumper I made and welded to the back of my travel trailer.

I'll look into the plug upgrade, on mine generally 3/16 and thinner I don't have any problems with it.. I've got some structural welding on my 40' gooseneck for repairs that need done.. it's just not big enough for my to feel comfortable using it.. mainly need to replace few cross member and weld to the main beams

I understand, Adam. Didnt realize they had the same pattern as your Malibu.

I dont understand why people go out for a walk on country roads later toward evening, wearing all black. Blows my mind. Saw a Mom on one road today pushing a stroller with twins. Clothing, stroller -- all black.

On to this, my '79 Malibu classic wagon
Stuck the update to this in the wrong thread ??‍♂️?
Ran to Florence KY this morning.. picked up some those 18*10.5 for my Malibu.
They'll collect dust for a little bit

Daughter and grandson flew in today! They'll be living with us for a couple months. Son in law will be bringing the rest of their stuff as planned in May!

Anyone else get a dose of that Texas dust?
We did yesterday morning sometime before sunrise a bit west of St Louis.. Came out to load the car up for my daughter's hockey tournament and was like 'what the heck is this on the cars???'. My car was halfway clean... Now it's a disaster lol

We had rain, so not much was visible until you ran the wipers. Went to town to grab dinner and it was like smearing mud off the windshield

What a nifty idea! With the cp3 outside like that, only a matter of time before they’re p-pumped haha.
