Sounds good. What do you have planned for the sliders/sides? Are you still planning on boat sides. The cj5 body looks good, maybe if I didn't have so many hobbies/toys I could finish mine. LOL |

Sounds like a plan. I remember my uncle taking us riding in a willys he had when we were young. That brings back great memories.

You do some great work man! I have a question if you don't mind. What do you do when you have to braze multiple pieces together in the same area? Like where the tube on front bumper connects to the leaf spring hangers. In other words how do you keep the other parts from sliding around when you brazed that tube into it. Like here. |

Thanks! Quote:
I sometimes cheat and make a small tack weld with the MIG to hold two things together. I then grind that tack weld down and braze the joint between the two pieces of metal. In my opinion a silver braze is going to be stronger than almost any MIG weld someone can do for 98 percent of what we do here with RCs because the surface area of what we are joining is soooo small! I also used to MIG weld my cages together, but not anymore. Brazing also looks much more scale to me. more soon! | ||

Looks good Verne. Could you put a couple more nuts on the back opening so I can mount a plate for tail lights? Thanks

Thanks for the invite cutlaSS. I've been meaning to come and check you guys out but haven't had the time. I also have a diaz chassis hilux with leafs and I know you're the man to talk to for improving it's articulation.
