Introduction
This is where, if you don't have access to
a welder, then you need to invest in one. We have a Hobart Handler 120
and it has been Great! You will want to locate an inexpensive place to
buy your steel. You will need several pieces, probably over $500 -
$800 worth
or more, depending on how much you do. The Stretch is needed
for the body. And all the other steel is to give the body more support
in the appropriate areas. Face it, in the step before the car was
chopped apart, there's nothing left, so we have to put back. Some of
the common pieces of steel are 1/2" square tubing, 1" square tubing,
1"x2" square tubing, 1/4" plate steel, 1/8" plate steel, and 1/16" sheet
metal. We bought our steel at Alro Steel, and they have several
locations throughout the country. |
