Dave, I never want to catch you welding on your junk.

I was going to weld on it, but I took the doors off and it folded like a taco.

Soft shell or hard shell. Soft can be straightened but hard will just crack and fall apart. I would really hate to see you fall through the floor.

Definitly soft shell. I still might fall through the floor. I tried to weld to the unibody and God only knows what will happen. There is that hole in the floor only covered with ducktape.

I'm hosed.

My whole cage is welded to the sheetmetal.

My brother in law showed me how to fix that. You need to get ahold of some MDF or even 1x8 pine. Use some sheet rock screws to hold the boards in place (hammering them through will be fine). Then tape around the edge and get some shag carpet to cover it. The screws are there to keep the boards from sliding around since the rot won't hold much anyway.

Sometimes after years of service the duct tape will come loose. You'll know when you hit a pot holes and your shag carpet falls through the floor. Don't worry about it, but when you get home hammer in a few more screws and get some fresh shag.

It worked for 10 years on a Chevy Luv that had been hit by a train. You know, now that I think about it, who needs a welder. :dunno:

Ron, you're going to kill someone. Litterly something is going to fall off your junk and kill someone.

 

[Captain Ron]

Crap.

It gets worse.

I just looked. All my sheetmetal is welded together too.

MDF? Stick with the pine. MDF swells when it gets wet. Sheesh, you're gonna kill someone suggesting stuff like that :scared:

You might as well go feed yourself to the shark now. It's all over.

We don't get rain and when we get snow it's too cold to stick.

After reading this thread, I'm going to rivet everything :confused1

How do you grow your potatoes then?

Is it safe? It all comes back around to that single issue, you know.

Nothing is safe. You should come up some time and I'll show you all sorts of ways to die. My moto is, you first.

That's not true. The driver should be safe. If he not safe? A no slider or cage or even tank will save you.
If he/she is, then everything is safe.
