Looking damn good! I haven't been on here or GMFS since November so it's nice to see updates on this

 

Very nice! I'm going to be experementing with body work in the fall and I hope I'm close to that good!

 

haha thanks, I'm still learning and its very easy to take away too much material, that's for sure

 

On your stake pockets did you space apart your welds? Meaning tack then do the opposite side and the other side, basically move around, if you weld in a straight line like you normally do you can/will warp the material.


Looks great BTW!

 

Your welding is horrible. Maybe I should bring you my car to practice on, HAHA.




Can't wait to see this thing done.

 

I was thinking the same...

 

Yes, I space them out. Couple tacs on this side couple on that side. Then let them cool and did something else, then went back, and did a couple more. Until it was complete, same with grinding. I knew about that. and it's really not warped, thats mainly the difference in paint and baremetal, and maybe a slight amount of material removed from metal finishing it.

 

wow i just read this hole thing, this has been a great project, i cant wait to see it done!

 

Man this thing just keeps getting better and better!!

 

A friend came by my shop today, and I showed him most of your build, he was super impressed...
Shoot me your phone number, he wants to talk to you... BTW he is a feature editor for Truckin' magazine...
