Re: I always wanted a sweet old truck

got a day off this weekend. did a bit of work.

this shows the weld just after it was done. fluxcore 110.


other side wire brushed.








paint



ok ok. I took way too many pictures of that bracket.

got a torch and burnt off a bunch of rivets. then ran out of gas.





and started the c-notch. I need to weld the two side plate the rest of the way. then cut the stock frame out. then weld in the inner side plates. I stopped because it started raining like crazy. been rainy since. I put out dog pool over it to try and keep it dry.





I started the c-notch with my flux welder and the metal was sputtering like crazy. I dont know what type of coating or metal it has/is. but I couldnt get any decent weld on it. so I got gas for my other welder and started doing some good looking welds. but they arent penetrating half as dep as the flux does. Im not too worried about it. just bugs me. ive welded inside and out as best I could.
