Re: finally come
you need to hammer & dolly the weld as you go ! got to the -metalmeet .com or allmetalshaping sites -lots of help available there -you do have to dig in the archives a bit ?? good luck !! mike

Re: finally come
remember -yoiu might use some weld thru primer -inside that 1/4 -or leave a spot on the back side for access for undercoat or something in there or it will rust real quick when the outside is finished ?? there should be lots of info on the 2 metal sites i mentioned - it would also be easier if the body is on a positioner for welding ?? im about ready to start on my 59 napco carry all ,lots of the same welding spots to be done !!

Re: finally come
craftsman 120v set to min. temp and 3ish wire speed. I think im running non flux core wire, but I will check. no shielding gas... plus whats cool, when i flip to max temp and same wire speed i can weld 1/4" plate with same results!!!

Re: finally come
If your gas less it will be flux core wire.

Re: finally come
Thanks Pimpston65. I'm using gas on Lincoln 135, setting B(from A,B,C,D) and number 3 (out of 10). Next time out I'll take it down to 2 and see. Thanks.

Re: finally come
might be a bit a overkill, but i had the lift jig remade in steel. i also made it a tandem. now i use 2 hoists instead of one.

Re: finally come
i had the center one added also with the idea of being able to flip it and use it to lift from the back pointing in, but i may cut those brackets off.

Re: finally come
i must be lucky. found the rear cab support from desert valley auto parts. they cut it out,boxed and shipped for $250 btw the rear cab support is different then the pickups, so thats why i say i was lucky to find one not rusted away!!!
