Hi fellas,
I find the best material to use is DOM (drawn over mandrel) seamless tubing. Its easy to find, inexpensive and very easy to manipulate (bend and form) plus its very clean (no mill scale or oils) and most of all a joy to weld
Heres a pic of some DOM
Heres a pic of what my truck looks like now
Things are bit hectic around the homestead, I also have another project in the works. Nothing big, just a little molding to do.
