Re: PO has me PO'd
Started pulling off the front clip, but haven't done much more. I appreciate the offer and will take you up on it when I get there.
Thanks

Re: PO has me PO'd
WOW you have a good hand for this work! I cant believe i haven't seen this thread till today.
How is the door-cab alignment working out? It looks like there is no bracing to help hold it straight but your work looks EXTREMELY straight. Just wondering, in about a month I am going to be doing basically the same work to mine and will use this thread as reference fer sure!! A note on welding over screws and other things that are not part of the two pieces getting welded together. It is not a good idea, on sheet metal you can likely get away with no problems if the screws are not coated or made from alloys because the sheet metal is not a going to be stressed so much and its getting sanded smooth so you will see if the weld is jacked. BUT if you are welding something that will be structural and you want it to hold as a weld should make sure the metal is as clean as you possibly can get it even if you have wire or rod that is made for rusty/durrty metal try and get it clean. Do not have anything else in the weld area like bolts and washers they wont fuse the same and may cause nasty porosity and defects. Wich will cause it to fail down the road.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Durrty, been a long process. The other day I finally took down the cable that was holding the windshield frame to my rafters. There is one fender bolt hole with perfect balance and alignment to hang it from. Plus I took alot of measurements and dropped a string line to the back edge of my windsheild frame.
Body and doorlines came out OK, it opens and shuts nice, main objective. I originally had no idea where anything went due to excessive rust, so I just screwed everything together and mounted and unmounted my door alot to check for alignment. Still a little more welding to do, thats why there are screws still in, all screws were removed and holes filled in with weld... Again thanks for the compliments, there are men on here that do it for living that are far superior to me, it's just a hobby for me. L8R J.
