I got to do some welding too soon. I have to make a tool attachment.

Step one: Learning to weld by fixing the shepard's hook in the flower bed.

Step two: Weld on car in spots that aren't finished.

Step three: ???

Step four: HOONAGE

I'll find out the brand and if he still has them and get back to you in these comments. I know they are a good brand and he's selling them under cost just to get rid of them.

Oh yea—-waiting for the post a couple of months from now —HOW COME MY DOORS WON'T EVEN FIT IN THE OPENINGS?

Importiant lesson #1-body structures get weak when parts are cut out.

Impotiant lesson #2-welding makes part twist+ move from the heat—then cooling.

Importiant lesson number #3-have the body sit in the finished position you plan on having it-or you can have doors that won't shut-or back windows that pop out-or always pull to one side. (ever notice on the car building shows that they always have bars welded all over the door openings + interiors when they strip them?)

Right now you are asking for it —bad. your best hope is set the back on the wheels + put the jack stands under the front subframe mounts. (FAR better would be bolt it back on.) Then LEVEL IT!

The floors are already in, I need to weld, like, 1 inch to finish it, cut off some excess, and grind and coat it all. The pallet IS on the front subframe mounts. Car sat all winter on jackstands. 90% of the weight in the car right now is the rear axle. I can lift the front and roll it around as is (well, not anymore I flattened the rear tires to keep it from rolling)

Don't worry, it's a 1977 car built in 'MURICA, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?
