how far forward do you think i should make a kick out in the rear to help rotate around stuff? Im thinking maybe a foot thats angled out maybe 5-10 degrees?

Alrighty, i got a lil more done today, got the other end capped off and cut and welded the legs on. i dunno if im going to triangulate the front and rear of the sliders to the legs, we'll see.

Looks a lot better. The sliders are where they need to be for practicality.

thanks guys, think i should triangulate the ends to the legs? i dunno if i should, this stuff is pretty stout.

Thats kinds of up to you. My shockworks sliders are not triangulated at the ends.

Alrighty, I made the other side slider. Had a lil trouble cause i didn't realize that i musta bumped the knob on the regulator and i was only getting 5 cfh of gas flow when i should have been getting 15-20. lol, the welds sucked on the end plates but i ground the bad ones out and re welded. The welds on the legs looked great. I also cut out 6 gussets and the plate that im welding to the frame. I also notched out the pinch seam for maximum clearance.

Looking good man, and nice welding skillz.

Thanks dude, heres another update.

i started getting kinda tired so my weld quality suffered but oh well.

Thats crappy welds? You dont want to see mine then

Looks great!

Only issue with the welds is there's not roll of quarters.

and theres nothing wrong with not having the stack of dimes thing going on.

well, i welded the slider to the passengers side and its all done. I had a tough time finding decent metal on the frame and my damn mig is limited to the 5 foot power cord and 12 foot gun lead. Some of the welds are horrible looking but they should hold.

eww!


even worse!

Lookin good. I love those lego wheels

X2. Doesn't have to have to have that pattern to be right.. Only thing I see is some undercut on the mounts. I really like those tube gussets you cut out. Those are cool.
