Lifted F350 Custom Bumper Project Thread

[ChuckE2009]

Hey everyone!! Thanks for the welcoming on my other thread...

Anyway, this is one of my latest projects, its a dual build, front and back bumpers on an F350 pulling truck. The frame is all 1/2" plate, and the skin is made of 3/16" and 1/4" plate. Most of the welds are mig, which I ran using my Hobart 187 with L-56 SuperArc Lincoln wire, and the bumper frame welds are 7018, done with the Stickmate.

I cut everything out using the Hypertherm Powermax 45, and pretty much started putting it together piece by piece, traced out with cardboard stencils.

This is going to be my next video series, and here is part 1. I'll update the thread as I get the other parts edited and uploaded, but I really hope you guys enjoy this video!! Have a good weekend, YeeeeeeHaw!!

I really enjoy your videos Mr ChuckE2009. Keep up the good work.

I can't remember if you used a passive helmet in all of your other videos. Do you ever use an active electronic welding helmet?

 

[ChuckE2009]

Thanks!!

I've got both actually, and all but one of my hoods is a Jackson.I like the auto-dark for a lot of things, but sometimes I just reach for the passive shade, especially for FCAW. Less to clean up on the helmet when I'm done...
