there are different types of weld through primer. some are zinc based and some are copper based. ensure to cut the mig wire after each weld so the wire has a chisel tip instead of a rounded end from the previous weld. also let the primer dry first, lol. we are all too impatient. don't need to say it but weld in a ventilated area when using weld through primer, for sure. well, any welding actually.

if doing a patch panel and you have bun through issues maybe the patch needs to be bigger so it extends past the thin area.
yeah, I know. you know that already. lol. |

This is the weld through primer I was using. Guess I thought since it is NASCAR approved it would dry really fast...

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Eastwood makes a weld through and UPOL makes one as well,both work really good.

Hows it going out there in this extreme cold? We had lava and earthquakes and now you guys had the polar vortex! What the hell is going on with mother nature?

No cell connection and no internet at folks place so I didn’t see your note until last night when on the way home. Thanks for the offer. Didn’t make it that far south. Weather was in 80’s every day and so nice! Cold here...am ready to go back! |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Glad you got back safe. Anytime your down this way - let me know. |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

On the radiator, not sure if you have the clearance on top (mine is a GMC), but I built a pair of standoffs to move my radiator forward about 1" for clearance between my fan and belt drive. |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
FAKKY, will do! Usually I only go down once per year.
Russ, come to a Saturday Invitational event at my shop and you can TIG all you want. Next one is March 9. JJ, good to hear from you! Yes, I remember the standoffs and is a potential solution we were discussing at the wire and Fire. Thank you for the reminder. Greg, you shared a lot of detail from Level 7 Suburban build. Luke, who built the transmission tunnel at the wire and Fire, just spent a couple days at Level 7 building a sweet looking cold air intake for a 66 truck with an LS. So there is a good connection for me there. |
Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Good to hear Doug.... now you gotta get back on your burb.....
