Re: Run Away's '69 C10 LWB Project Log

I haven't updated in a while, but I've been working on it!

First up was welding in some braces. Got a tank of argon/CO2 mix and converter my welder. Found the regulator was stripped so that was taken care of.
New threads

Fixed


Though I was losing my marbles when I couldn't thread on the new tip. Turns out I grabbed one that was machine wrong, no threads just bands.....


Once I figured out I had to flip the wire feed roller and a couple practice I was able to make this:

I won't lie, I was very impressed with myself after that. Welding with gas is fantastic! I've never made welds so nice. Remember, I'm a complete beginner....

Put some bracing in

Welder is turned all the way up, wish it went a little hotter for the 1" square tubes


Yikes!


Drilled out the outer cowl


Then the inner wings/kick panels. I'm going to have to graft bits of the a pillars from the parts cab.
