David Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 today I learned: get the wire speed perfect and its soooo much easier to weld, the welds loook sooo much better, and Im not using up as much wire, nice valuable lesson. no pics tonight sorry, I didnt add any steel, just getting as much of the corner beads done on pieces that I had only tacked in place, gonna try and finish all of the roof bracing tomorrow after work, soon I will be back in turlock ( 2 hours from home) during the week.
David Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 ok So I got the steel done around the sun roof, I can now seal it up when I want to. little by little the steel gets closer to being done
ChevyBoy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 so whatre you going to cover the steel on the roof up with?? mdf too? or birch??
Guest Nismofreak Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 holly shit. Um are you sure those bags will support all that weight lol. Time to upgrade to some semi air bags lol
jack Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 so whatre you going to cover the steel on the roof up with?? mdf too? or birch??i hope some baltic birch, it is about 40% lighter than mdf of the same thickness http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=29213 "sleeper build" (1) DC AUDIO Level4XL 10 (2) PowermasterD2700 batteries ALL FOR SALE TEAM DC AUDIO TEAM DIRTFLOORPOOR

00sdime00 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Looks awesome David..Keep up the good work bro...I have a few quick questions for ya...What model Hobart are you using? is it the handler 140? Your welds still look like you are using too much wire speed...I would suggest setting it up using a scrap piece of tubing...start on voltage C, and adjust your wire speed slow enough to where it actually burns through the tubing...then bring it up slowly from there to where it does not immediately burn through...this will help you achieve better looking welds and save you on wire A half-wit gave you a piece of his mind, and you held on to it.
