Oh, i know. This thread is a major distraction at work. I've got a horde of cool parts waiting for this. Unfortunatly i'm out of cashola so i'll be doing the trunks myself. I need to sell some stuff to build up the paypal account again. Anybody need some used sailing gear? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Scotty,
Hope you don't mind some questions about your work. Not meant to be critical - just trying to learn from your vast experience. First, what type of welder are you using to get such nice "puddles" on thin material (pic-1) or welding on this thin channel without burning through? pic1 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-3419-1337566144.jpg) pic2 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-3419-1340025768.jpg) Also, do you go back and weld in small cavities (right side of pic3) or save them for finish filler and primer? pic3 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-3419-1337566156.jpg) Thanks for the insight and keep up the great job. |

Miller 140 MIG for most of the welding and as far as the little crater on the outside of the weld goes, primer and a touch of filler does the deed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Do you use gas or flux core?

Love the progress. More pics as they come, please.
Scotty, I know you replaced the exterior corner after you cut this out. What did you do about the crusty skin behind it--the outside of the trunk wall? I presume wire brush, ospho, etc...but were there no pin holes? |

Yep, wire brushed, Ospho and a coat of black, fortunately there were no pinholes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
