ok.. blasting is done.. figured id try my hand at welding.. started off a little rough and burned through just about EVERYTHING.. but finally got the voltage and wirespeed right and i think im gettin the hang of it.. by no means a pro yet.. im learning.. goin to finish welding up pinholes and spray the bottom with bedliner in the morning. pictures to come later..

A lot of times the reason your burning through is because the metal is so thin from the rust. When you get to good metal it won't burn though as easy.

Or if you grind too much to clean up the metal it will do the same thing.

I like that blue.....looks good

So you are going with black trim?

dolphman88 · 08-02-2009, 03:09 AM

yea, im not a huge fan of chrome. so i figure black will do the trick..

however, huge setback today. apparently the catylist we used with the clear was no good. and it didnt dry. so while we were cleaning the shop and a freak rainstorm came, it ruined it. waterspots everywhere.. so.. off to the sandblaster again

**Captainfab** · 08-02-2009, 11:24 PM

WOW that sucks! sorry to hear that.

spr85gmc · 08-03-2009, 03:53 PM

what did they use for the 5 lug conversion......

dolphman88 · 08-03-2009, 04:34 PM

the numbers came up as a 87 i believe

dolphman88 · 08-04-2009, 12:41 AM

update.. we decided to see if the clear would dry over the next day or two.. and it is looking promising.. the waterspots are mostly dissapearing, and because it is to be a daily driver, and it is only the firewall... and since we are on a deadline.. we are leaving it. so the z-bar bracket, motor, and trans went in today.. pics to follow
