That's it for tonight.
So many lights lol

Yeah. Most of them are desk lamps hanging from the rafters and wired up to a 6 socket extension with breaker switch. Lol. The lighting in there was terrible when we first moved in and since I'm renting, shop lighting was not an option.
That looks much much better!

Thanks!
I'm trying! Haha thanks. Hopefully I'll have the upper back half of the cage done by tonight and then I'll start work on building a frame that will mount underneath the body and connect to the frame with cross members.
I rent.... lights can be removed...
the previous incarnation known as the "dungeon"
and it's current incarnation known as the LAB™ for a few hundy in lights and paint...
Most shop lights can be plugged in. They don't have to be hard wired

I wasn't going to invest in lighting when I started building the truck because I knew I was only going to be living at this house for a max of 1.5 years more and because I didn't have a ton of leftover money while I was a student. Hopefully will be able to find shop space to rent out and can really get crankin and spread out.

One plug and your done.......Well bulbs too.
Why did you switch to a smaller dia tube?

Thanks! I'll have to look into those!
Because this:
And lighter, cheaper, easier to cut, notch and weld.3. There is nothing wrong with using a smaller diam tube for bracing. As long as you get the same thickness tube. Main tube on mine is 2" .120 wall and bracing is 1" .120 wall, that way when you weld them together you can make sure to have even penetration (at least that is what I read).

Also, what are y'all using for wire thickness & gas flow rate for MIG?
I run .030 and anywhere from 10 to 20 psi depending on if I'm inside or outside...
.030 and a light breeze. Don't really look at the gauge just go by feel, and how its welding.
Crank it up to 11.
