boxing frame????
boxing frame????
just wondering what thickness flat stock would be good to to close off my frame (front end/rear end). im thinking 3/16", or would 1/4" be better? im gonna take measurements, and buy the steel next week sense it's pretty cheap out here.
my moms nieghbor is a old air force retiered machinist/welder. im gonna ask him if he would'nt mind running a couple of beads. if i can i'll get a couple of pic's of the 2 steam powered car's he built from ground up. there pretty Fawkin cool.

I've seen this done in custom kitchens with tons of steel & stainless, etc.
Use the flap disc for a sidegrinder like 40 50 grit and it makes circular type patterns but kinda gives it a texture. I've seen them at harbor freight and Home Depot.

You're right, I DON'T understand that Jeep thing
now that's why i love you guy's. diamond plate why did'nt i think of that, thank's fella's. now i have another question. do you think i can get diamond plate at the steel yard? also maybe a stupid question, but do they make the diamond plate in different thickness? im planning on building the the deck's out of 1/4" and capping the frame off with the same size.

well from that reply i would take it that the price is steep. it's steel from a tracktor shop.
they have all kind's of cool stuff especially for recovery. very heavy duty recovery hook's and hitches basically stuff for a tracktors. i have'nt called the place you mentioned yet. i think i'll call tommarrow before i leave for L.A. i like the tractor shop and i went there becuz that's were i went to get the steel for my wristed arm. i pay'd $12.00 for a 1/2" x3"x4' piece.

hey deisel, i would go with some rubberized undercoating spray. one can would be more than enough and its only like 4 bucks at checker or auto zone. diamond plate looks alot cooler but i think this stuff has better grip.
if you put it on thick enough its almost like the spray in bedliner stuff.
oh yea i like your paint too
