Welding Tips and Tricks

Working on a project for a guy thought I would post some pics. This jeep was in an accident and the bed was beyond repair so he has decided he wants a custom bed. So I'm build military style bed. This truck serves as a kind of dual sport. It drives as a daily and does the trails in the weekends. So it had to have a bed that woked well with both. I will be posting more pics as this goes along.

Nice work! How do you car guys find people with money to spend?

It's hard most of the cars guys I deal with have to make payments lol. I'll make anything somebody wants. Just seams like a lot of stuff coming along these days are car related. I just put the entire front end back together on this ford and rebuilt the bumper. The left side was completely sheared off in the crash so I had to remake that part and added the prerunner bar and painted it in a hard texture coat black.

Nice work, dude!

Shot I took today. I may slice and open the fenders up more. Still have to add the side steps and cut the back half of the fender. Then it's not to the other side.

Very cool....can't wait to see it finished. I am getting lots of ideas here.

I like it!

Have you got a free Square Card Reader yet? I got one since a lot of people can't pay with cash, but do have a credit card

It's funny you ask that. My wife and I also own a daycare center and she just got a card reader for her iPhone. It's handy lol. The looks you get when someone stops by and says I forgot to bring that cash I owe you and you whip out the card reader lol.

Just wait till you see the bed I have to build for a ford f350. It's a welding rig truck so it's getting all kinds of things put into that.

Yep, pretty darn handy

Yes sir.

Little more work done tonight. Final fender trim and step frame made and welded on.

Bill are you going to skin the outside of the bed? I can't wait to see it done....hurry up

No this is how the bed will look no outside skins. It will have a built in tool box and a rack that will lock in on top. The bed will have the box fuel cell and spare tire the rack will be for carrying camping gear because the bed is pretty full. The idea of the bed was based on this pic.

And trust me I want this done faster than you do I have an scca car coming next for a full cage.

Very cool! Can't wait to see it done. Nice work!
