I think I'm getting the hang of this cut, grind, and weld thing. This and the following 3 posts show the before, cutting, more cutting, and patched stage of my hell hole.

21 guage for the frame, 18 for the fender wall. I used a rust converter and then a weld-thru zinc primer on the metal. Welds are all lap welds or plug welds. |

Sweet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Good to see a 914 chassis going in the opposite direction!
