BEEBANI Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Been doing a little tinkering for the last few days: Quote Link to comment
Cruzn620 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 great work...but its a shame you covered up that super clean set up!!! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I was thinking the same thing but sheetmetal'd beds look clean too. Gonna look nice all smooth! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Love the inner bedsides. Are you welding everthing in? Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 i just had a quick a squizz at a few of the pics, and that is exactly how i am planning on doing my tub!! except with my arches im using box shaped rather then round ones... looks really good!!! Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks guys! I plan on welding everything in, but not solid; I'll probably stitch everything and then seam seal it. That would be a lot of welding! Quote Link to comment
Cruzn620 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 lot of welding, and if you take the time to do it right to keep from warping...A LOT OF TIME! i agree with the stitch and seam seal, that is how i would do it. When i shaved my tail gate on my s-10, it took me 2 days to weld in the filler plate. tack...cool...tack...cool...but it wasn't warped when i got done with it! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 At least you can get some drinkin done in between tacks :D Quote Link to comment
Cruzn620 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 at the time we were SFBD'ing my buddies dakota, so it was chop, cut, weld on that frame then "oh yeah, lets tack again" depending on the speed of your drinking, there should be 1-2 beers between each tack. LOL...we should write a manual on "a MINITRUCKERS guide to fixing anything" the first tool on the list of must have's would have to be "sawzall" Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Next would be beer...then a welder...lol Quote Link to comment
RB_Shaggs Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 don't forget the grinder, blue tip wrench, big fkn hammer, prybar, 2 buddys (to sit and drink the beer and occasionally chime in there 2 cents), and the most important tool in the arsenal ZIP TIES:D;) Quote Link to comment

RB_Shaggs Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 well have not experienced that yet but i have the others hell i am even guilty of being the beer swilling spectator at times... i guess i will get to enjoy the critizism once i start on my actual project instead of everyone elses and my side ones. she is just patiently waiting in the garage..

BEEBANI Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I don't get too much either, but have seen guys get ripped apart on other forums. Quote Link to comment

Cruzn620 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Jason, thats the reason i was reluctant to post anything on my datsun. On the s-10 forum guys get ripped new ones all the time when they are just trying to do something their own way. I have NEVER posted pics on that sight unless i was done with the project and it was in paint. Everybody is an expert and they don't realize that they werent there when you were doing your body work and you found another dent you needed to fix or something like that. Here though, everybody seems really cool, they give pointers, but don't tear people down Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 but don't tear people down Well.....not very often.;) Quote Link to comment
71-521 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Here though, everybody seems really cool, they give pointers, but don't tear people downnow you know the difference between Datsun owners(the Majority) and them Chevy folks! Quote Link to comment
