Re: Daverods project 66

it prolly would look better if you welded on a clean surface to begin with and added a little more power/heat less wire feed , it looks like the weld is laying on top of the metal that needs to be welded .... not enough penetration ...... you did use the mig with gas didnt you , that allso helps it should look like it just about flowed intoo the surrounding metal
everyone should be able to weld eventually if they try and know wat to do when surtan things happen mig welding should sound like sissling bacon in a frying pan when its cracling and its too high power or too little wirefeed hissing is to low power to big wirefeed when you set the balance on a couple of scraps youre usually set for the rest of the truck , just keep the small spot blasts around the piece all about the same time each time to get a nice even bead around the piece the welder i used actually had a timer to give spotwelds and it worked verry nice

Re: Daverods project 66

I'm with Watahyaknow. You need to reweld it, turn your wire down. I know your not welding with gas because of the way it looks.

But other then that. glad to see some more progress going on the truck. I need to post some stuff on mine!

Re: Daverods project 66

That was just the first pass. I don't turn the heat up the first run because it's so easy to burn through. Usally after about 3 runs its looks normal.It all gets ground down anyway. Then sprayed with undercoat. On the inside I'll Skim coat the wall with some mud. The floor well get sound matt.

Re: Daverods project 66

D rod, you're supposed to grind it smooth before taking pics. When you smooth it out it shines so bright and you can't tell what it really looks like. That's my trick anyway. Shine it up and re-post it and I bet you get compliments. Give it a shot.

Thats the truth huh. The only reason I took the picture was because I was so happy I found out how to switch my camera to macro. I was the only thing to take a picture of. I'm not to worried it all grinds down and you never see it anyway. I knew I was going to hear about it. I love the close up though. It makes it look twice as ugly as it really is.Heres what it looked like after I cleaned it up. I wished.

Re: Daverods project 66

Use Spearmint Bubble Gum. It gives a smoother look when welding. Seriously you are doing a great job. Dave don't listen to anyone.
And Gage keep the digs coming. It keeps us all on the ball.

Re: Daverods project 66

Thanks Dennis I'm sure it nothing you hav'nt seen before. Hope to get the rest done today. Spent the morning out at the goat ranch. It's hard work being a goat rancher. Ok Gage lets hear it, and they are goats not sheep. In fact I'm naming the brown one Gage. He's a stud, untill I cut his you know what's off.

Re: Daverods project 66

Finished the floor and sides. Started beating on my cab supports with a hammer and screw driver. More rust. Ordered some cab supports. Looks like I'll have plenty to do this winter. Did I say this truck had no rust? Anybody use the slip over cab supports?
