Shortening the bed will be a learning experience for all of us

Re: High School Project Build II
Glad everything went well with the first project. I'm in for the this one! There is a member on here, 65standard , who did a really nice job cutting long bedsides to short. if you didnt know better you would never guess it. along the same way you are doing it. Id suggest him for any questions you may have about it

Yeah, I'm using his bed as a guide - hope ours turns out as good as his.

Re: High School Project Build II
I noticed you decided not to remove the surface rust in areas where you are fabricating a new seam trapping the rust inside, is there any particular reasoning behind that, I'm wondering what if any consequences there are concerning that decision.
I don't have any experience welding or fabricating so I'm not implying anything, I just want to know if it's better to leave the rust or to remove it then seal it up, or if there are any products that can be used to inhibit rust in areas where you will be applying heat to weld on or near a seam.

Re: High School Project Build II
We did remove the paint just where we welded. Whatever you treat bare metal with and then weld it you burn up whatever you treated it with. Were gonna paint the rolled edge and our welds

Re: High School Project Build II
I started working on cars when I was 15, my shop teacher was all by the book. But, my welding teacher was great like you are with these kids. He challenged us all the time which made us want more just like what you did here with making a short box. Good for you and great for the kids who are not pencil pushers or into gaming. It's only sheet metal when you start, but a gem when you're done.

Re: High School Project Build II
A Big THANK YOU to everyone that is complimenting our program and what we are doing. The students are really working hard and are ready to work as soon as they come through the door - they are making my job fun and easy. I told my wife the other day that I was like her - I stand around and point and tell everybody else what to do.... that went over great.
