Love the welder I have only done TIG on aluminum a time or two and it wasn't pretty, good luck with your efforts!
Funny the first thing I noticed was the moon eyes

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Having high frequency start is the cats a$$. Are you using the foot throttle peddle or a on/ off switch on the torch? I use the on/off I find it's easier to work around the shop. I'm having tig envy.

Thanks Jim. Thought about a nice radiused gusset under the plate and decided to go for strength instead. Lowers, I am using the foot pedal. A control on the torch would be handy for out of position welding. You are right about the high frequency. Hold the tungsten where you want to start, step down on the foot pedal and arc starts. Like pointing a needle and welding. The cable is really light and the torch fits comfortably so it is easy to use. Now I need practice on my technique. I've always had problems with side to side wander and hand speed. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
When I read your build and Marc's build I get more and more the feeling of you two should be sharing the same workshop

Keep up the good work.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Nice work Doug I too find a rare occasion where all of my efforts go well and smooth but when they do they sure do work
I agree with your words on the fires my Fiancé has family from there who is directly impacted and are currently displaced and have no idea if their home is gone. It makes you think of how fragile and fleating a lot of our "prized possessions" for now all we can do is pray for wisdom of the men and woman fighting the fires and for rain and lots of it to stem the flames

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Hi AD,
I've been reading this thread for a week now since you posted on my c50 build. I wish I had your body working skills, you do great work! I've always loved this series of chevy truck and the burb is just that much more cool. Thanks for sharing your journey, your life and your faith with us. -Richard

Thank you Coach. When it was going smoothly I was thinking of your build and how the welding was going smoothly...then how the front suspension and one of the rear knuckles really fought you. Quote:
Wife and I went to the shop for a bit this evening. I had to make sure the drive shaft really would clear the notch. Whew... Then I stared at the frame and exhaust pieces for like a half hour thinking...some parts are slip fit, some butt weld, and it all needs fabricating together. How do I position the pieces to lay them out, measure for needed cuts and support for welding? Came up with an idea I will try next week end. If it works I will share it and if it doesn't we will pretend it didn't happen. Yeah, I am overthinking this one... |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
The notch looks good and strong enough for what it is. For the exhaust I would start at the front attach and tack weld as you move back. That is how I did mine, just make sure you can remove it before you weld to much in case you need to add a flange.

My AADD was kicking in and I stopped to look at this one. No powertrain installed and has new paint and decent chrome for $3k. Retired new car dealer had a guy do paint and body. He wasn't happy with result so stopped the restoration. Thinking it is perfect for my next LS swap project. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
One thing is for sure my next project will not be a vehicle from the east or Midwest.
Southern and west cars are just head and shoulders better. The Burb was bad enough but the 56 is just getting old cutting and replacing metal. Not to mention $$$ on trim |
