WARNING...FIRST TIME WELDER
I thought about not posting pictures of my work today due to the poor quality of work...but it wouldn't be any fun if I didn't show you my struggles right
? The pivot point on my truck bed was completely rusted out, but I was given a spare patch piece along with the bed. For my first time ever prepping, cutting, and welding a patch piece on a truck... I feel like I did kinda sorta okay... I have to learn to weld at some point, so I figured this is the place to start lol. It still needs some more work, but the mosquitoes were eating me alive so I called it a day. The last picture shows the plate I'm going to weld in next time. Its just sitting in place for now.
As you can see, there isn't a lot of metal left to weld to....darn rust
