One fender was rusted in the front, just filled it with a piece of dash. Had to order some more patches for where the fenders attach to the cab. Figure I'll have about $110 for two fenders. Not to bad.

Re: Daverods project 66
So what was the damage/repairs to the transmission??

Re: Daverods project 66
it prolly would look better if you welded on a clean surface to begin with and added a little more power/heat less wire feed , it looks like the weld is laying on top of the metal that needs to be welded .... not enough penetration ...... you did use the mig with gas didnt you , that allso helps it should look like it just about flowed intoo the surrounding metal
everyone should be able to weld eventually if they try and know wat to do when surtan things happen mig welding should sound like sissling bacon in a frying pan when its cracling and its too high power or too little wirefeed hissing is to low power to big wirefeed when you set the balance on a couple of scraps youre usually set for the rest of the truck , just keep the small spot blasts around the piece all about the same time each time to get a nice even bead around the piece the welder i used actually had a timer to give spotwelds and it worked verry nice |

Re: Daverods project 66
I'm with Watahyaknow. You need to reweld it, turn your wire down. I know your not welding with gas because of the way it looks.
But other then that. glad to see some more progress going on the truck. I need to post some stuff on mine! |
Re: Daverods project 66
That was just the first pass. I don't turn the heat up the first run because it's so easy to burn through. Usally after about 3 runs its looks normal.:lol:It all gets ground down anyway. Then sprayed with undercoat. On the inside I'll Skim coat the wall with some mud. The floor well get sound matt.:uhmk:
