81 Tube frame Trekker NOW ADDING TTB’s and 400HP

Got the motor pulled after work so I can start welding everything up tomorrow

 

mind the puddle!

can't wait to see the 4 pass welding candy delight.

 

So much welding...

 

this is one of those threads that makes you feel inadequate.

Use it as inspiration... I originally built this whole truck in my driveway with a harbor freight grinder and notcher

 

Outside enjoying the sunlight after 8 months inside

 

This should work for the rock donkey stuff

 

yoga trekker? impressive! everyone wants a flexible partner...

 

Silicon bronze Tig patch panels complete

 

Tin work ain't no walk in the park. Solid work, as always. Keep it up!

 

I finally hacked off the nasty rock sliders that came on my truck when I bought it. I’ve been avoiding doing so for 7 years because of the way they were welded on made it a nightmare. After 5 hours with the plasma cutter, die grinder, sander and DA my frame rails look brand new. I then started my new, low pro sliders that act as a subframe to tie everything together.

I did the main tubes out of 1.75” DOM and cut the ends at 45’s so I could slip fit the 1.5” ends in. I did it this way so it would fit nice to the 1.5” rear section and it gives it a neat look

 

nice and tidy.

sooo what else can you do as an excuse to avoid what you've been talking about really doing to the trekker??

 

I just couldn’t help myself and cut the entire firewall/floor out... started building a new one today

 

Jeez Harry, doing it right. How thick is the sheet for the firewall? same for the pans? So much awesome.

 

.045 so about the same... super fun to weld

 

nice. gonna be a small mint in bronze on your truck. lol

 

Made some progress this weekend, got both wheel wells done, seats mounted and started on the floor
