Salem Straub Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 I am indeed. I have actually wired it all up with a motor starter and all, finish fit the bottom die and made and fit a sow key today, and I've actually fired it up and cycled the ram a few times. Stopped short of clapping the dies more than a couple times until I get the last floor bolts for the frame drilled and epoxied in (the last step other than incidentals.) It's amazing seeing that monster old ram rise and fall again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
