Re: For those of you hacking up beds
To be honest unless your a very good welder fixing the shrinkage from welding the patch will probably be more work than fixing what you have. These flat panels oil can bad!

Re: For those of you hacking up beds
And if you are talking about Lmc part # 2 I don't think it goes up high enough.

Re: For those of you hacking up beds
When you weld it shrinks the metal there's no way around that stitch welding reduces shrinking but you will still need to hammer and dolly the area to stretch the metal back out so it fits the shape and stiffens up

Hey Scott, I'm scrapping out 2 beds right now. That area should be good if you want it. I will check for sure in the morning. Let me know the size from the top (or the bottom) and front of the bed. LockDoc

Re: For those of you hacking up beds
Well,guys making shortbeds out of longbeds have to weld top to bottom twice on each side and somehow the beds come out nice. Seen some novice body men turn out nice results. No one said there wasn't work in bodywork.

Re: For those of you hacking up beds
I agree it can happen...I've seen a firewall be shaved and oil can even though the same guy shaved my markers and it didn't do anything at all...he simply welded in the patches with a mig and I ground down the welds and it was good for final skim and paint. So sometimes it can oil can and others it won't. As mentioned...tack and wait....tack and wait. Have something else you can work on at the same time....put a couple tacks in and then work on the other area then come back to it when its' cooled down.

18" to 24". Then from the front 4" in to 24" if you have enough to make it a little bigger great if not ok. Thank you Posted via Mobile Device

Re: For those of you hacking up beds
I have never welded sheet metal (plenty of thicker stock) but I plan to start learning in the near future. Can someone explain what oil canning is? Its obviously from too much heat, but what happens? The metal crinkles or something?
Thanks

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.

I attached two photos left and right sides if that gives you an idea. I did not get a chance to measure today but I will if you think I need to. I agree with your thinking, it could come from anywhere on the side. Send me a PM and we can discuss further. I don't like to be a thread hacker. Tom |
