Need photo of GPW axe and shovel area
Does anyone have a good photo showing the factory weld of the two panels that make up the axe and shovel groove on the GPW tub? I forget how far up the panels the weld on this seam runs and I can’t locate any of my photos. Thanks in advance!

Michael,
I sent you some pictures via text. I can't seem to get them to upload to the thread.

I left the shovel and axe mounted because there is so little of the exposed weld visible anyway. Here are three shots for you:
I didn't see any globs of weld below the shovel but I think there will be a similar looking bit of it there.

I'd hire the worst welder you can find, or blindfold him to do these welds, they really are ugly on my tubMichael O. wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 4:20 pmThanks guys! I really appreciate your help. The welder is putting the finishing touches on GPW 104111’s tub.
