Coolbreaker Pan welding 3

After the welding I put it into the oven, to heat it a little bit to relieve tension.

Then heat the case a little bit and weld the shit out of it. :-)

The former welder did a really great job.
A lot of bubbles in the welding.
My welder tried to do a better job.
First he had to grind the old welding a little bit away.

Marc's Shovel-Tour 3

After buying his dream, we went to a local restaurant, got some local food.
Very gooood.

Marc's Shovel-Tour 2

It was love at the first time :-)
Flat black, the color of his wet dreams and a footclutch with a deadhead shifter
to scare his neighbours. ;-)

Marc's Shovel-Tour

This guy is Marc, he is one of my best friends and he wants to ride a Harley Chopper.
So, last weekend, we drove to East Germany, Thüringen, a long way through a lot of snow to look at an old Shovelhead.
