Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
there are different types of weld through primer. some are zinc based and some are copper based. ensure to cut the mig wire after each weld so the wire has a chisel tip instead of a rounded end from the previous weld. also let the primer dry first, lol. we are all too impatient. don't need to say it but weld in a ventilated area when using weld through primer, for sure. well, any welding actually.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
if doing a patch panel and you have bun through issues maybe the patch needs to be bigger so it extends past the thin area.
yeah, I know. you know that already. lol. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
This is the weld through primer I was using. Guess I thought since it is NASCAR approved it would dry really fast...

Eastwood makes a weld through and UPOL makes one as well,both work really good.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
For sure! It will be 61 here later today, so that will help. Here are the coatings I used for the frame. Covered really well and is supposed to provide exceptional corrosion protection.

Hows it going out there in this extreme cold? We had lava and earthquakes and now you guys had the polar vortex! What the hell is going on with mother nature?

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
man I would love a TIG, maybe someday.
it was 55 today and I got the forklift stuck in the still soggy driveway doing a scrap run. I just sat on the seat with the sun on my face for a while. cant wait for warmer weather.

On the radiator, not sure if you have the clearance on top (mine is a GMC), but I built a pair of standoffs to move my radiator forward about 1" for clearance between my fan and belt drive.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
FAKKY, will do! Usually I only go down once per year.
Russ, come to a Saturday Invitational event at my shop and you can TIG all you want. Next one is March 9. JJ, good to hear from you! Yes, I remember the standoffs and is a potential solution we were discussing at the wire and Fire. Thank you for the reminder. Greg, you shared a lot of detail from Level 7 Suburban build. Luke, who built the transmission tunnel at the wire and Fire, just spent a couple days at Level 7 building a sweet looking cold air intake for a 66 truck with an LS. So there is a good connection for me there. |
