Re: For those of you hacking up beds

When I typed that last post I didn't even notice I was responding to someone different than the one who began with the nay-sayin'. Like I said,no one ever said there wasn't "work" in "bodywork". A shop will toss a part and bolt-on (they think) a new replacement because time is money,half of them couldn't repair it right,or they don't think the customer is willing to pay more for better results. On the other hand,if it's a hobby project,time is what it is and the most important thing is the end result. I remember when you had to braze sheet metal and I did my share. Back before the modern welding equipment most anyone would say you're peeing into the wind to weld body sheet metal because of warping. This new stuff gives you a fighting chance. Not saying it can't warp,but better results are much more possible and anyone willing to take it on should go for it.

And LockDoc,you're alright. I think I'll take all those things I said about you back now.
