cheby,

Another idea is to just stitch weld it with a one inch weld or so every two to three inches then spot face weld between those on the front side. Grind all those welds smooth and use metal filler between the stitch welds and work it for a fully smooth look. That will keep the heat down and still be strong. Just an idea.

thanks i am open for any ideas..just left my friends fabrication shop , took over both of the ones that have built and that have warped on me and all of the new metal, we are going to work on it this weekend at his shop on a real heavy duty welding table where we can really clamp it down and he might even tig weld it to try to hold down on heat a little.......my fingers are crossed we will see what happens !!

**67cheby** · 11-08-2011, 10:11 AM

raull · 11-08-2011, 10:19 AM

longbed67 · 11-08-2011, 10:29 AM

i just got a text from my friend Charles Mayhew and he sent a pic of my brace on the press and he said it is STRAIGHT once again....LOL , if nothing else we will beat it straight !!

big_al_71 · 11-08-2011, 12:48 PM

Persistance beats resistance all day long....

**67cheby** · 11-08-2011, 12:51 PM

LOL....i just got to think ...surely i am smarter than a piece of metal, still not done yet ...but i got a couple good punches in , now to go ahead and take him to the mat..LOL

watahyahknow · 11-08-2011, 01:21 PM

dont put too mush heat intoo it when youre grinding down the welds it might warp again

**67cheby** · 11-08-2011, 01:26 PM

i will be careful..these welds are much flatter than mine so it wont take much grinding on them !

jasonhall · 11-08-2011, 02:24 PM

One step closer to making it to the kicker show in march.. looks good!

71Sleeper · 11-08-2011, 04:57 PM

Congrats! I knew you would get the welding figured out.

**67cheby** · 11-08-2011, 05:25 PM

MARCH.....oh i hope i can !!

VA72C10 · 11-08-2011, 05:39 PM

Looks good! Can't wait to see it painted!!!

**67cheby** · 11-08-2011, 05:42 PM

as soon as this back bed brace thing is done...the bed is headed to the paint shop !!

longbed67 · 11-08-2011, 07:06 PM

**67cheby** · 11-08-2011, 07:08 PM

I'm in the same boat eventhough i'm much farther away from painting mine then you are but everytime I think i have settled on a color I see something else and like that also. Good luck on choosing a color, I can't wait to see what you choose to paint it. Whatever it is your truck is going to look great.
