Well, it's done. I haven't posted in a long time because there didn't seem to be a lot of action on the thread here, and I couldn't justify the...
Both of my machines are 110 units, but I can do 3/8 stock with my HF unit with no problems. Of course, the duty cycle is to low for serious work....
Thanks guys. It seems like this project will never end. I've discovered that the more you do on a Jeep, the more you WANT to do. I mean, what's...
I'm using .035 wire from HF, and I'm not sure what the model is of the welder. It's my father-in-laws. Mine from HF is WAY too hot for the sheet...
Well, it's been a while since I posted anything. I've been puttering with the Jeep off and on, but I had a few other projects that took priority....
Well, with both sides and floor pans pretty much done, it was time to turn my attention to the rear of the Jeep. I got lazy (and frustrated) at...
Excellent Weekend! I finished work on the passenger side, flipped the tub and started on the drivers side. I changed my methods slightly this...
Well, that's the plan after this one is is completed. I'd like to try my hand at a much older rig. I have to do SOMETHING to justify all the...
Oh, I SO wanted to use lead! But like you, I found that it just wasn't practical given my skillset. :cry: I did spot weld all the way around,...
Well, I haven't gotten much done in the last week (had to build a greenhouse), but I did manage to get all the various pieces and parts for the...
Didn't get a lot done tonight, since I had to do a bunch of housework. I took a deep breath and dove right in on the rusted out panel. My...
I got the tub on sawhorses, hopefully in a position where it's sitting straight. Then I started welding in the floor pan. Some of the pieces I...
Thanks! I love HF. I don't use most of my tools enough to justify buying "nice" ones, and at HF, I can get a variety so I can see what I really...
Pretty good evening in the shop. The first thing was to create a new side support to replace the one that had completely rusted away. I didn't...
OK. After reading this thread straight through, I'm gonna SHUT UP about all the body work I have to do on mine. Seriously, you are an...
Well, a business trip to Vermont took me away from the project for a couple weeks, and then I had to wait for the metal I needed, but, FINALLY,...
Nice work! I love the fact that you are starting with the bare frame. Keep 'em coming!
Re: To build or not to build? Hey, nothing wrong with slow. I am really enjoying mine, mostly because it IS slow. When you aren't in a hurry,...
I'll admit it: I chickened out. I just didn't think I could recreate the side of the hump, so I welded the original piece back in. This meant for...
First New Metal!!!! A historic moment! I put the first piece of new metal on the tub. I probably could have waited, but sometimes, you need a...
