That is going to be an awesome looking truck when u guys finish! The only bad thing is it will either be a show truck and never be driven or it will go to the desert and get a cactus 🌵 stuffed up it's hoo ha and back to u it will come. Great work as always gentleman.
I would suggest to anybody in the comment's looking to get their car done this is the body shop that does this effort of work done on your classic is what your looking for in a true A+ Restoration build but i doubt you will be driving the vehicle very much.This is perfection this Autobody Art and very expensive but this man is not just a Body Man he's going to the next level of Art on a vehicle.
The use of a TIG is some I have to save for. I can weld mild steel and stainless with $200 Vevor 210 amp TIG, high frequency inverter, touch start arc, stitch weld, clean and flex torch neck that works on 240Vac or 120Vac. No foot pedal and no reverse polarity for aluminum. I am in retirement so the need to weld aluminum keeps going down each year. And foot pedal? I am used to my MIG trigger, so learning a pedal with size 13 boats on my feet maybe just fine. I reversed the pedal to downward action like gas in a car, to use a commercial single needle lock stitch because I couldn't use it in treadle style. Great information as always. A softer TIG is obviously the way to go for gaps & hammer / dolly action. Two thumbs up! Dean K.
@@turboflush No, instead of tipping forward for amps or sewing machine to go, my 8" 2X4" has a notch or cut to hook the pedal front lip. Using a round metal conduit under the wood block as a pivot, the back part when pushed down works just like a gas pedal. Now the few pedals I have briefly seen on TIG videos, it's a box with no open end. My commercial sewing was open and attached to the table legs. Tilt machine back w/belt off, reveals a cast aluminum crankcase for oil. I never knew this but oil pump uses metal lines & hose to lube 50+ parts. On the TIG, if fabricating a part on the bench, this foot pedal is ok. But on knees or in the car / truck, you can't use the pedal. Like I said. Shopping as wallet can't afford a TIG from Harbor Freight. I take paper plates apart, eat beef pot pies, grill frozen pizza to save. Question; If welding mild steel only, can you use 25 / 75 (MIGHT Shield Gas) for welding with a TIG? I would like to weld aluminum someday but not know. Regulator, tungsten, tank of Helium add up! Hope my answer helps. DK ASE Master Tech since 78, retired
Hey good video I use a piece of flat bar that's aluminum it's 3/16 thick and 1 inch wide and 6 inches long it helps speed up the process for me love watching your videos
Being a Bodyman Paint Tech there's nothing worse than going to a show and seeing a door edge a inch wide of filler on the edge just kills the trade-Art.....
Can you show rounding the edge with the DA in the next video please?

Interesting pedal. So more of a brake with full throttle normally.
