Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good Blazer...

Made a little progress tonite- finally. Before I started welding, I spent some time setting up a dedicated 20A circuit to feed the welder. The first pic is my test piece. I wanted to make sure I was getting good penetration, plus it has been a while since I laid a bead. I think It will work...

I got the outer plates tacked, well actually, stitched in. Besides just running a bead around the perimeter, I also did a few plug welds in the existing holes in the frame for some insurance.

After I got them where I wanted them, I marked the excess....
