Hey you remembered so that's a plus. Front bumper looks nice, I like the curved lines. Kinda goes with the flow of the front fenders! |

I like the way the bumper came out too, I figured I'd make it curved thats how it will look after a while any way. | |

Did you use tubing or solid rod for the front bumper and rock sliders? What brand of flux and solder are you using for the brazing? I have a Hilift coming and I want to make some sliders and stuff for it. It is coming along very nicely. Looks good |

As far as solder, I use a rosin core solder for metal repairs and not that much flux. I use mapp gas and oxygen to solder with. The only thing I can't keep together is the rack on my other truck,But my bumpers and sliders havn't ever fail. | |

The glue showed up , so I got the bed glued up and the tailgate working. Them dogs think they get to go for a ride or something. I got started on the floor board. Have to cut around everything to make it fit. Here's the fire wall and behind the seats. |

Wow, that is coming along nicely. Very nice. Thanks for the info on the tube and solid rod. I used a mixture of both when I made my lumber rack for my 2.2 scaler. I used Home Depot flux, solder and Mapp gas. The solder and flux were of poor quality and I wanted to see what you are using before I attempted this next 1.9 build. I think I am going to buy some Harris flux and solder to braze with this time. You mentioned Mapp and Oxygen together. Are you using a set up similar to a cutting torch where each has it's own valve into one tip? |

That rig is sure showing some very nice potential I hope you paint it that green that so many Chevrolet's of that period were painted. How does the brass hold up compared to brake line?
