Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Looks a whole lot better than anything I could do! I wish I could weld so bad! Opens up tons of possibilities. By the way, whats that trim around your door lock? I like it.

Welding isnt hard man....Go to harbor freight and pic up a 90 amp flux core welder...I think they are $109 right now.....Then just practice on stuff...Also will want a auto dimming helmet but i just started doing it so its not like I really know what im doing either...I started on my inner fender wells for practice

Did you tell any lies today? Just wondered because it looks like your pants have been on fire.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well the only thing I got done before rain hit was cutting the actual cab corner replacement piece down....BUT i said screw the rain!! Taped up the electrical cord and cut away the cab corner and got it lined up to weld....Still needs a little adjustment aka bending going into the cab but thats about it

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well the rain stopped and I went to it....I got dirty as crap but I got the corner installed, welded, and grinded down but no bondo as I dont want the rain to ruin it.

I also wire wheeled the crap out of the frame and it just needs to be washed and painted now..

My fuel sending unit showed up today too so im pretty excited about that as well

Now time to go get lunch
