Hi all I am plating my quarter chop tomorrow (welding it in)
I have a gas tank that im going to remove do I need to remove my filler neck (petrol) or is it fine left there and do I need to remove batteries or un plug them
I have a fire extinguisher ready what else do I need to consider to make the job a safe and good one
Disconnect the Battery, remove the tail lights so you can see in side and go for your life. Give it a wipe down with degreaser if your keen but it should be fine mate.
Battery disconnected for sure
I was to scared to weld near my gas tank so I previously plated it with cardboard and vinyl tape but wont go oof road with it so timd to do it right
Cardboard.. Great idea... :-oQuote:

Grab so sheet metal and place it between area being welded and the tank..
Yeah those barns are dangerous id use some CFC as a shield or a fire blanketQuote:

so I took the mask off and found that I was squinting for the next three days and looked like a stoner with the bloodshot eyes all glased and squinty
in short always wear a welding helmet. And safety glasses when grinding haha
Tomorrow I will finish grinding the underside then prep and paint it
does anyone have ideas on waterproof sealing (primer filler)
Not happening today too wet damn it
Any updates, pics?
Are you still interested or have now vanished???Quote:

Some people just should be allowed near tools.Quote:
