Reply:I would start over,there is usually at least 3 times as much rust that you can't see.

I would try to fix it... but that's just judging it by these pics..Last edited by DemonSpeeder; 03-31-2012 at 08:25 PM.Lincoln pro mig 180Lincoln Square Wave Tig 300/wp 20/home built water cooler Victor, Purox, Harris, O/A welding/cutting setupsVintage Craftsman drill pressVintage Craftsman/Atlas 12"x 36'' lathe7''x 12'' w/c band saw Everlast 140 st

Reply:Whatever the customer wants, some want a hack and slash cheapo repair, others want new and good. It all comes down to the guy paying you, I don't argue anymore.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."

Reply:thats a nice bed, to bad the rest of the rig is going to crap... Ed,like grandpa always said. "You can't fix stupid". So fix what you can and move on. personally, I think it's stupid to fix that. But like it's been said, you do what the customer wants. Even if it's stupid.There are no problems. There are only solutions. It's your duty to determine the right one.Hobart Handler 210Airco 225 Amp MSM Stinger
