lol. No kidding man. I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I took these pictures.
Yeah, when im done with it, im sure putting the bumper on will be a two man job.
My axle does look a little rinky dinky. I think my cell phone camera makes it look all weird....but I dont know. Its a 9 inch, so HA SUCKA!!.....lol.
Im waiting to see some pics of yours on your truck!!!

I laid down a root pass, then weaved that top pass over it to make it look like one pass........I love welding lol.
I used my stick welder at work. It is an older Lincoln AC-DC stick welder, capable of pushing 600 amps.

It is two passes with an 80 series rod. I think it was a 1/4" rod if I remember correctly.

Ive done all kinds of welding, but I LOVE stick. IMO, if you can stick weld, then you can weld anything.

Thanks! I weld flat every day. I rarely get to weld vertical or overhead, so this bumper was a new experience for me in welding.
Ive been wanting to get my certs. Did you have to take classes? Im only certified within the company that I work for, so I cant take my certs with me. Oh well.

you weld flat everyday, I'd be lucky to weld flat once a week. when i'm not wrenching on stuff, i'm usually helping out the saftey guys by welding stuff on to cars (target plates, accessory plates, ODAST racks. stuff like that) its mostly wire welding, but there is some TIG involved.

Pretty much, the only thing the school gets you is some proof that you can weld at least moderately well.

BUT....if this steel dust keeps eating my truck, I just may do it :)
I plan on finishing the rocker panels, and MAYBE the bumper when it is finished.

Pictures from today. Welded some more plating on, and hit it with a quick layer of black rust tough paint.
I want it to look good for the RI meet next week. I still have to make an upper part to fill in the gap, but I have no idea what Im gonna do yet. Any ideas for a top portion guys?
And yes, my truck is FILTHY. It doesnt look too bad in the pictures, but it needs a cleanin' lol.
Dont mind the pretty towels, I was in a hurry due to company coming over.
side shot. Doesnt look too bad.
