Model A extended cab

Nicely done. I'm taking notes. [cl

thanks skip!!! I think this part of the build is the most tedious

Looks good. When you make a nice floor it's too bad that it gets covered.

 

[lowbudget50]

thanks bob, the only thing covering it will be the seats. I'll sound deaden the underside, so you can see the metal work!

4l80e is a big trans!! I only have 1/2 in or so clerance between transmission and floor structure. About 6 to 7 inch of foot clearance for pedals. Not much different than my first sedan with that 534 Big Block in it .not like this is a long road trip car

the other problem is I didnt build this frame. to make it so fit the whole bell housing is into the tunnel

yes sir, it's different. I can make things stick together with it. pretty is another story

 

[kenny c]

It will stick to almost any thing. I still have a hard time setting the machine for it. If you come up with any good settings charts let us know. It's awfully expensive to practice with but that's what I have to do before I use it.[

[Dr Crankenstein]

I've never tried it... at $30/lb I probably never will!

I've used it for welding cast and then machined it for a press fit for a bearing. I've also welded gouges and pits in the chrome shafts in hydraulic cylinders and then filed the weld smooth.

 

[zzrodder]

So are you just using it for the "look"? Does it require a special gas (not the usual 25/75 steel mix?). Maybe a dumb question, but can you use it to weld brass sheet or cast brass?
Always trying to learn new trix

 

[lowbudget50]

I am using it cause it looks different. kind of gives it an ok brazed look. I also like trying new stuff. on this truck it doesnt have to look perfect, it wouldnt fit hahahahaha. i use my normal gas in the welder
