I hadn't checked this thread before because I'm not much of a minitruck guy. I do consider myself a car enthusiest, but that doesn't mean I necessarily enjoy every vehicle ever made. With that being said, it's great to see someone attempt (and suceed) in custom fabricating their ride. I don't have much experience (or equipment) for fabricating, but might try some small projects soon, if nothing else to get some experience. If it f***s up, oh well. That's just another learning experience.
I say keep this thread going, and if not many people are viewing it, who cares? The ones who ARE following it are enjoying the hell out of it.

Thats what im after-- showing people that you dont have to held back by just bolt on parts.

Thanks for stoppin by james!

I stick to this site for maybe 8 builds. This is one of those 8 I check almost everytime I'm on here. I could never do this, but I look to it as inspiration and once it's done and all over the internet, I can say, "Oh that's Chris' truck. He put his heart and soul into that thing. Great project by any measure."

 

[TigBitties]

I concur

you are wrong

very true, i never thought i could do it either. spend some time playing with a welder and now i can weld basically anything

 

[mymmeryloss]

Ordered a few things. Need to finish mock up on the frame and get eveyything welded so i can get the cab back on the frame.

I want to learn to weld on my own, but I've always been afraid to since I've seen people who "know" how to weld doin really stupid/dangerous stuff lol. I guess I would be all on my own. Definitely super useful though for hobbies, work, etc. and if you are good you can save yourself a lot of money or make a lot of money.

 

[mymmeryloss]

Live and learn. Ive burnt myself really good a few times and shocked myself also.

Best thing to do is buy a welder and get some welding videos and s**t and buy some metal and mess around.

I dont suggest just hopping in and building a truck without any knowledge(like i did).

You will end up redoing lots of stuff(like i did).

Hey at least you have a 250 page build thread. That counts for something right? Here's to 250 more!

 

[mymmeryloss]

God i hope it doesnt take 250 more pages before im done lol.

 

[00siboy]

Is there a trick to getting your welds to to be structurally strong, not just looking good?

 

[mymmeryloss]

Clean material and perfect prep work will guarantee strong welds. And if its an ugly weld, then it isnt strong.

And normally a beautiful weld is super strong. You just need to keep an eye on your puddle and make sure your penetration marks follow. Preheating also helps!
