Re: 53 GMC 5 window RestoMod Bagged
I got some tips for my Lotos (extended tips, nickel plated) I can't get them to work, so I used the shorter copper tips and it worked fine. Cut this .25" angle iron and then blew some holes in it so I could drill the holes.
Doing this method is still faster than doing a pilot hole with a drill bit, but.... the hole you plasma out seems to get hardened so its tuff to get the drill bit to cut through that part. So I went back n' forth on both sides of the hole and used different uni bits. Once it can break through that hard part or cut around the hardened part its a fast process. I had one hole give me no trouble and then 4 holes give me the same consistent problem, like the dross is still in the hole and is harder than the original metal.
