Looking good Keith!

Sweet! Looks great Keith!

Sweet! Installing the PB stuff is the fun part of the build

slowcpe · 05-23-2016, 01:47 PM

Nice progress. I got most of my rear stuff on the other night as well. Its nice installing new stuff rather than cleaning 40+ years worth of gunk and fighting old bolts/rivets.

Looking good Keith

How do you do the "Digital Paint Booth"? Is this a program you have to purchase? I am starting on a '67 and I want to finish it in burgundy. Thanks

Yes you can purchase it for one vehicle from HOK then render away. Just to let you know the wheel choices are very slim, so you may not find the exact ones you are looking for. Other then that it is a quick and easy way to come up with ideas.

C10_ustacould · 06-01-2016, 08:51 PM

Looks like you have a little work to do.

boostedc10 · 06-02-2016, 08:32 AM

Keith,
These are the few issues I had:
Passenger side where the floor meets the firewall flange (Looks like the are using worn out dies)

The curve of the new floor doesn't match the stock firewall curve on the drivers side where the pedal area is

The rear matches up pretty good but I did have to bend my two rear supports up a little to get it to sit in the right spot.

If you need anything more let me know. I am sure i have some more pictures and can always take more if needed.

I got it from Jegs, it's a AMD branded Tri-Plus unit! Jegs had the best price on it, almost a $100 less than everywhere else!

Thanks for the pictures Brandon! Those help a lot to see what you were talking about!

It's not something I'm worried about doing right now, I plan on getting the frame done first. Just collecting the repair panels so I have them when I need them. I'm trying to decide if I want to try and tackle this job myself or pay someone else to do it. So far I have received some pretty outrageous quotes. Anybody know a good body guy in NJ that doesn't want your first born as payment to repair my cab.

Honestly Keith if you have the time and don't want to take it out of State to have it done, do it yourself. It's not hard, just time consuming. Out of state I would recommend Dewayne at Insane, his work he posts on Instagram is top notch.

Hobart Handler 140 and time is your best option then

I purchased a Hobart 140 and a 250ci plasma from tractor supply. They had a zero percent financing program going on at the time. I took advantage of it and paid it off in a couple months.

It allowed me to learn on my own and I welded in all my own patch panels.

Thanks guys, I'm looking into Hobart's and Miller's! I want something that can also do some minor frame work too so I can weld my bag mounts on and fill some holes in the frame!

MMcMasters · 06-04-2016, 08:38 AM

Keith,

Just In case you were not aware, Hobart is made by Miller. Hobart is just the less expensive line and when you go buy replacement parts they will have a miller part number. I have the Hobart 190 and have zero complaints. It has a good duty cycle for the home welder and is very user friendly if your a beginning welder.

Mike

Thanks for the info Mike, I did know Hobart was made by Miller. It's good to get opinions from guys who actually have these units as I don't have any experience with them! And yes I'm a beginning welder so user friendly is a must for me!

I used my 140 to weld in my steering notches and rear bag mounts to the axles.

RRC · 06-05-2016, 09:54 AM

It's definitely the way to go!!! It's not a bad job to do your self. If you were closer I would give you a hand with it.

Jason7121 · 06-07-2016, 04:00 PM

Hi Keith wanted to find out what paint you used on the motor and what process you used. I have a lq4 I'm putting in my 71 c10.
