A little welding today.

Do you put relatively short welds to control distortion or just a little awkward to do?

Tacked it in and proceeded to put down 10" to 12" beads, skipped around side to side, no science on this one, just an old dump body.

Relining can be tricky.

Here's a couple shots of an overlay on a 35T truck body I did a while back.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks Stick, I'll get some recent pics posted so this thread isn't dead, life's been crazy.

Hey thanks Tom. Sorry I haven't commented, just finished a long move from chitcago to Tennessee.

That tag trailer looks great. I am going to do pretty much the same to my small equipment trailer come springtime. Now that I'm out of the rust belt, time to make everything nice.

On that dump trailer, did you remove the old floor? I'm guessing you did by looking at the fit up of the new steel.

Man you do incredible work! There are a few excellent guy's doing Youtube video's on this type of work. If you get enough followers I hear you can make serious side money. If you ever got into that I am sure you would rocket to the top really quick. Haha I just had to mention that because I'm sure everyone here would love to see you work live.

Thanks for your time, stay safe!

I think there used to be good opportunities to make money on you-tube but they changed the rules regarding advertisers several years back and made it a lot harder to make money.
