get yourself a 200 dollar amazon cut50 plasma cutter and an extra baggy of consumables. makes life so much nicer. then a flap wheel cleans up the edges.

i have close to 20 hours of cut time on mine and still going strong. she usually only sees 3/16" or 1/4" as well

That would have made my life so much easier! I went through like 6 cut off wheels :rofl:

Nice work on the bed! I was day dreaming when seeing how much open space you have to work with lol. Feels so cramped around here

Sad day you guys... Delivering the project race truck to the new owner today :(

Good thing is the guy is local and will be able to go over and help him finish it whenever I have time.

I am in the process of purchasing my first gen cummins from high school, its the vehicle that me and my wife went on our first date in and she misses it. I was able to find the truck and get in contact with the owner and trying to make a deal. The truck is by far my most favorite vehicle I have ever owned.
