904 it took me and a buddy all night we started at 3 or 4 pm and worked till 4 or 5 am

xzy can't do that otherwise it will sit up on the wheel wells but i still could fasion a tail gate tire holder which is probably what i should do anyway

91 hahahahahhahaha me and my buddy both had that same paint job for like 3 weeks hahaha then mine went back to olive drab and his got hot pink flames on the front(it was a bronco 2 and he let me paint it"whatever color i thought it should be"

we used a wire feed with flux core wire

 

two things when welding sheet metal lower heat and don't run a continuous bead if you do once it starts breaking it will break all the way down the bead

 

and 904 it was an easy project i would say 4 or 5 i have had a harder time getting front hubs off than that with those stupid washers they put on there

 

wow. Maybe you should stop by and help me!

Idk man ive been seeing a couple exos that i really like, i don't know if i can chop up all the pretty sheetmetal! :p

 

hahaha i am eventually gonna exo her but i need a few things first ...my own welder a pipe bender oh yeah and money

 

Yea i hear ya there.

I have freaking sliders but i cannot weld em on cause i don't have a welder.

 

Looks nasty dude! Nice work.

 

^thanks man

 

I wouldn't say it's easy...It didn't take that long to cut everything off, but all the sheet metal fab I did on mine took forever. If I had to do it over again, I bet it would take three full days to do it all at once.

And I still haven't painted/bondo'ed so yeah...

Like others have said, do beads, but not one after another. Do a bead over here > then way over there > then in some random spot > then way over there so that nothing get TOO hot. That way you'll avoid warping the metal. One side of mine is warped pretty badly unfortunately. Once you get enough beads, you can join them together.

And of course, the closer you can get the two sheetmetal pieces together, the easier it is.

 

id honestly say the hardest part of welding is all the prepwork... the cleaning, scraping, brushing, and clamping in place. That's what takes a while.

Once everything is ready, welding doesn't really take all that long...

just make sure u paint the welds or else they rust

 

I got bored gotta love krylon

 

Urban camo out in the country, that is somewhat counter intuitive. I also think slotted mags belong on a 66 nova, not an urban camo painted toyota pickup.

 

Just stumbled upon this thread. Read it and thought I'd just say I love the chop! Do you still own it? What's it look like now? I own a pu but someday would love to chop a runner. Good job.

 

Hey, thanks

No, I traded this truck for a supra a few years back and am now on my second supra,
A buddy told me he saw it about a month ago, still on the road, apparently it's got a SAS now:-)

If I see it I'll get some pics to post for you
