Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Ok, so I have a lot of pics, but not as much progress as I would like. I ordered a front cab support and a rear drivers side rear support from Tabco, since the front support I had was defective. I like the product - nice thick metal, seems to be a nice quality part.

So, I finally got all the remnants of the spot welds out from where the original front support was, and fitted the new piece. I did a few tack welds on the outside b/c I want to flip the cab off it's back so I can make sure everything lines up properly.

I decided to put some Rust Encapsulator on the inside of the support, after taping off the areas that might be welded, then I used some Copperweld afterwards. I must say, I really like the Rust Encapsulator. It sprays on really nice, and looks good. I also used in on some of the underbody that I had cleaned off as it was starting to get some flash rust. It's also really easy to prep for it; just wipe with some lacquer thinner.

Apparently I forgot to take a pic of the support tack welded in... Oh well.

Next topic will be the crappy time I have been having with the welder...
