Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Great work. I didn't think anyone under 40 knew what 6011 was let alone how to use it.
Welcome aboard

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Thank you very much brother! Like I said I'm still learning, I've only been welding a little over a year but I started with what they say is the hardest and most old fashioned process, arc welding! In my class I took everyone complained about running 6010/6011 especially overhead and vertical so being the guy who loves to do things people say you can't, I of course picked that electrode to focus on! After using these rods I won't use anything else! Thanks so much for the kinds words!

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Got started on the front frame horns today guys! And BOY did it go rough lol. First I measured the Z and realized I had actually done a 3-1/4" Z, no big deal! So I cut the horns off and got them in place and tacked them, looked good so I ran a bead on the inside, cut through the front side until I found my weld and welded it up (to insure 100% penetration.) measured again and low and behold one side was 1/4" off! Dang! Had to cut it back off and re-do that! Next I made the gussets for the bottom and plates for the top. Seemed like I had the worst time getting in a decent position but I finally managed to get those pieces in. About this time I decided I'd had enough and was gonna call it a night because it's getting pretty cold! I let the truck down off the jack and decided to check and see how low the front bumper was gonna be! Put on bolt in and WTH?!?! The other side was about 1/2" off!!!!! Rookie mistake! Didn't put a cross brace on the pieces before I cut them off!!! I got my small propane torch and heated as much as I could and pushed with my legs until I bent the horn out enough to thread the other bolt in. At this time I was so stressed out I started 2nd guessing myself!!! Maybe my welds will fail, nothing is gonna line up, etc etc. then it dawned on me, a good weld is suppose to bend, not crack or break so this was actually a great sign!!! Lesson learned!!! Tomorrow I'm going to try to cut, fit, and weld up those bottom plates, the whole point of this long post is maybe someone can learn from my mistakes!!! Always brace, always measure BEFORE you run a full bead!!! At the end of the day, it's just metal, with enough heat, grinding, cutting, welding, it'll go where you want it to go! Will def get some pics for you guys tomorrow!

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Well don't give up on the rest. 7018 is a nice rod, a little more difficult on verticals and overhead, but comes out real pretty and if your setup is right it almost chips it's own slag. It won't burn through rust like 6011 will so good prep or new steel is important. Keep up the good work.
. I raise my barley pop and salute you and your skills.

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
The chassis looks pretty good! Cool lamp, but a killer art piece! You need that framed for the Man Cave!
Keep up the great work! What is next on your list of to-do's?

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Thanks for the kind words!!! I think the next thing would be to try to get the back end of the frame down. I'm thinking I will just Z the rear as I've seen some people do and see how low that gets me. I'm thinking if I run a small enough diameter tire I can get it to lay frame. I need to put my bag plates/cups in as well up front, need to buy some drill bits! Also I need to box the frame in all the Z points. Running really low on materials so it may be a few days!

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Here are my bag cups, I had some tape laying around didn't know the width so I threw a piece on and it looks like this may be too much to cut off the cups? Can these trucks lay frame on a 16" wheel with cups/plates?? Any help would be appreciated guys, thanks!

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Finally started on the back. Ran out of rods so, this is as far as I have made it. If my measurements are correct, the back should be about 1" from laying out with this size tire 28.5-29". Now to get the damn front down!

If I might add some insight.... Getting it as low as can be w/wheel & tires appropriately sized yields better visual results vs. using shorter wheels & tires just to make it as low as possible. I've seen more than a few trucks that the owner got it to 'lay frame' but used super short tires that did not look as good as another truck that maybe doesn't lay frame but has the wheel well filled. Food for thought.
