Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
So back on the radio box I started out with some 22ga.....that didn't work out to well...a simple squeeze of the mig trigger and it'd blow a hole big as a pencil in the metal...even though my welder is supposed to weld 22ga and I was using a copper backer....so i dug around in the boneyard at work and found some 20ga....it's a little better but not by much...
So I bent out a whole new unit from the 20ga
Got it mostly welded up...
I needed to make some corners for it so I started out trying to dimple some sheet metal in my press...
I started out using a ball peen hammer with a socket for a die...the ball peen was a little to pointed so I stuck some round stock in the lathe and made a better radius punch...
After punching out a couple I think they'll work ok....
