The race team has less than two weeks to get this torched Bronco back into shape.

Man, I hate welding around seats. You would think that something that close to your ass would be a little less flamible.

Ballistic Fab FTL. ADS shocks FTW.

That sucks

I really try to not leave the shop for an hour after I've welded something.

The Rants family, who are fellow off-road racers, came up clutch with the necessary interior parts to get everything livable inside

Fawk yeah! Sportsmanship at its finest

Kracker Fab hopes to have the Bronco ready to run in the 4600 class next Thursday.

Checks watch... wait, what?

I think it'd be rad if you could pay a deposit when you bought your seats to have them show up with seat covers made of a weld blanket. Return them when you're done building to get your deposit back. You can only take the seats out and put them back in so many times...

Glad to hear it didn't take them out of the race...

Also isn't that a little concerning that the seats burn that completely? Make sure your fire suit's up to snuff, then sit in that

Same, I watched a shop down the street from ours burn up a few years ago. The guy was building a roll cage for a race car and went to lunch, came back a half hour later and his unit and two neighbors were fully engulfed with several fire engines there.

It's always in the back of my head when I'm welding or even grinding on something now. I make a point of finding something to do, clean, etc. in the shop for at very least 30 minutes after I do anything that involves sparks or fire.

Blue shop towls are the worst IME at turning a spark into flame.
