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

thanks for the info. i'll check it out tonight!!! oh i forgot its on the rear quarters of the burb that im working on, they have the inner panel so no dolly action.

lower50's · 08-22-2017, 07:02 PM

Well that's a great start.

wahl4m · 08-23-2017, 06:38 AM

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 !!

i have a large area to patch. i will need to peel parts off to get access to internal parts such as the clam shell recieiver that i will be grafting a new rustfree piece back on. so i can get to the back side then

Looks good, nice job.

**Baketown Scotty** · 08-24-2017, 05:07 PM

I guess I need some more adjustments to mine. Type of welder, settings?

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!!!

lower50's · 08-24-2017, 06:15 PM

If your gas less it will be flux core wire.

**Baketown Scotty** · 08-26-2017, 02:46 PM

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.

**pimpston65** · 09-08-2017, 12:57 PM

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.

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.

**pimpston65** · 09-15-2017, 01:05 AM

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!!!

lower50's · 09-15-2017, 02:54 PM

Score!!!
