My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Congrats on the "expert" welders pi#*ing this guy off. He knows what he is doing and some people can not accept the fact things can be done in a different manner and be as safe or safer. I hope he continues to show what he is doing to complete the build.

Re: A different approach to a LWB to SWB conversion

Here is a quick picture of the bed so far. Just to make it clear to everyone, I was never pissed off about any comments about my welds.

Re: A different approach to a LWB to SWB conversion

I'll post more pictures tomorrow. I still have to finish up the weld and metal finish it, followed by a quick touch up to hide the seam. There will be no bondo needed.
