Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project

new metal in, and a couple weld shots. I'm also a welding novice (you can tell by the burn through i got toward the front), but i'm pretty happy with how things turned out. Grinding will made any booger weld look good, so that's the next step.

for this, i spaced out the spot welds about 4 inches, and just kept goin' from one end, to the other. rinse and repeat. from what i can tell, it looks like there is minimal warpage in the metal. If i had to guess, there won't be any more than 1/16" of mud over this when i'm done.

here's the pics!
