[BlakeZula]

well if anyone remembers. the hose to my heater core started leaking, so i bypassed it. i got the hose nd hooked everything up but i need a few clamps. so il probably do that first... even though itl take like 5 minutes. after that... i was thinkin lower the front end an inch or two. probably try to mount those headboard lights on the back for box lights. il try to shop up a rouc pic here ina sec to show you

I love me some funiture fire. :D

 

You should mount the lights above your pro tool benches ;)

[BlakeZula]

Im sorry that's funny shit :frantics: :rofl:

 

Blakezula your gonna want to grab yourself a welder to practice for the resto , and have it errr with some scrap metal !!! Just clean off the areas you plan to weld throughly when using a mig/tig welder, degrease, grind , weld , knock off slag , clean , and weld again. Of course this will be much stronger and easier with a gas set-up ( a bit of $$$ ) Arc Welders ( which I have learned on first ) are a bit harder to learn , MIG is plug and play ! Just make sure if it is 110 volt use the shortest , heaver gauge electrical extension cord to maximize the power , and not screw up your welder ( shorter the better ) 220 volt is the way to go though , and you can save up for a nice MIG welder that can do it all ( 220 volt , possible gas hook-up and a wide range of heat selection/wire speed ) or just go to harbor flake ( harborfreight ) and get their 90amp plug and play gas-less wire 110 volt mig welder for around $100 ! Arc welders like mine are made for industrial stuff , and torching through car frames like butta ( at least mine is :rofl: ) Of course there are better used welders on craigslist !

 

Good Luck ! you'll need it :frantics: ( by the way , save yourself some time in the garage and start hucking stuff , that's the only way mine is getting clean :sick: )

[BlakeZula]

resto? whats that mean?i wanna keep her the way she is... but i did get new welder for 50 bucks its a cambell hausfield 115 V stick welder.. ive ben welding exhaust with it for a while it works pretty good for what i need.

You are Making Progress. Hey why don't you and Radio Redline get together and see if the mods will start a Garage Topic and move your threads to it.

 

When I saw this thread I thought you were mocking Radio Redline, the title of this post led me to think this. Know that I have read this thread I relize this is a real thread about your garage.

 

I apologize for nominating you for the title of "Downshifter III".

Ok , good deal ! nnnnnaaaahhhhh I just thought you were kind of in the same position as I , shelve it/huck it/ or sell it ? ( I finally got to that point where I needed to do one of the 3 options )

 

Yeah , If you can do it with an arc welder that is cool ! ( I have a very hard time doing my sheetmetal work without my MIG , I use ARC for everything else like axles , frames , angle iron , etc... ) ,

 

Can you build some rafters above the Garage door ( for not too heavy stuff ) or if their are rafters , lay some sheets of 1/2" plywood and stick it up there ? ( I am not sure about the clearance ) Are you planning on a shelving system ?

HOLY SHIT... i havent thought about this...i doo have rafters... i never thought of putting plywood and storing everything up there.... DUDE your a lifesaver

[Charlie69]

Do not put heavy things up there. Those are top bearing trusses so be carefull how much wait you put up there. Remember what goes up must come down.

Agreed 100% , Thanks for saying that Charlie69 , I thought I had mentioned that , but apparently I dropped the ball on that :blink: :lol:

 

Blake , buy your buddy some lunch and you'll rip right through it ! :D Also in my area there are re-bulding centers where you can get wood cheap , look for these or free ply wood by chance ? ( keep the cost down as we all want :D ) I guess craigslist is another good place to get free wood ( just the quality issue ? hhhhmmmmmm )

 

Later !

[MicroMachinery]

DUDE! Where did you get that SWEET anvil? Also, those red taillights.. are those for sale?

[BlakeZula]

[skunk]

hook that anvil up under the back of your truck were the spare tire goes weld it to a chain and hook the chain to your truck, be like a bad ass rat pirate anchor. :lol:
