Dremel and a cut-off wheel.

Rocker · 01-02-2006, 07:33 PM

man i need to get me a dremel, would a small wire weilder work fer that??? thanx for any help, Quade, oh and here is what mine looks like http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/biggz_...e2.jpg&.src=ph

JasonInAugusta · 01-02-2006, 07:36 PM

I'm using a little Lincoln Pro-Mig 135 wire feed welder for this.

Tack it in place with the Mig then braze the joint.

Greenbandit · 01-03-2006, 11:33 AM

Awesome work! I need to learn how to braze! I have some other projects that need cages. :?

JasonInAugusta · 01-04-2006, 07:59 PM

bandit, brazing is easy once you learn how. I bugged Roktoy (Jay Kopycinski) and John Boyer for a few minutes to learn the basics. Fun stuff once you learn how.

If you want to learn...http://www.rccrawler.com/tuber.htm

Been sick the past couple of days, haven't done anything to the truck.

I figure I'll go out in a few to wrap up the top side of the cage and add the spare tire mount.

Pics later. ;)

JasonInAugusta · 01-04-2006, 10:28 PM

Didn't get as much done as I wanted, but it's progress.

In this pic it looks like the spare it tilted. That's due to the nose of the chassis being a bit high when I snapped the pic. Trust me, the tire sits vertical.

I also changed the last portion I added to the upper cage. It was a hair low and it just bugged the crap outta me. I cut it off and raised it a hair...mo bettah!

Compared to my other 1:18 Jeep with 4 coils cut. The overall frame/hood won't be but a hair longer than stock.

twisted · 01-04-2006, 10:37 PM

looking good.

BigJ · 01-05-2006, 06:28 AM

That looks sweet! I'm gonna have to try and build a tuber now.
