Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

The wifey came through for me today and helped me get the Cab Corner marked and cut. I am actually surprised at how well it worked out.

I read on another post that it's a good idea to install the door when you do the cab corner to make sure it's lined up well. I will probably give it a shot. I have to weld and grind some more of the door pillar before I can install the corner.

She marked it while I held it, and then she taped over the line. Then I cut it nice and slowly, taking my time. I started using the 3" air cutter instead of the grinder. I don't think it spins as fast, and I am able to control it better. Plus since it's vertical, I am closer to the part being cut and can see it better. For me, being two-for-two on cutting parts is a big deal.


It needs some minor adjustments and grinding, but it seems to be pretty good. I have to figure out how to clamp it in place. Maybe using screws is a better way to keep it together? I'll search some more to see how other people did theirs.
