Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

it might be a good idea to coat the fishplates with some weldprimer , you cant get to it later on unless you have the frame dipped in zinc

when you do that just make sure you done all the welding you need done on the frame , welding on galvernized stuff can give you the mother of all headackes

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

Looks awesome! How straight is it? I know that welding tube sections will pull it all out of whack. Most of the time you can heat the opposite side with a rosebud and quench it with water to pull it back.
