Re: My Wife's 55.2 C4 Carryall / Suburban build

Damn you do great metal work. The large hole saw did the trick notching the frame for the rack, any tips on doing it this way or just have at it?

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the kind words sqrlnts.
As for using the hole saws it works great, a really great wrist and drill bit saver is to drill a 1/4" hole all the way through 1st. then use the hole saw to finish it out. If you don't pre drill the 1/4", when the bit pops through and the hole saw teeth grab, it binds and either twists the heck out of your wrist or the bit just breaks.
Then I took a cut off blade on a grinder to get the vertical cuts just right.
I hope this info helps you
